Compression filter for Loopback device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

 

Is there anything like ‘losetup’ that allows choosing encryption algorithm for a loopback device that can be used on compression algorithms? Or in other words, when the data passes through loopback device to a real storage device, it can be filtered and the filter is compression instead of encryption; when kernel ask for data in a storage device that is mounted to a loopback device with compression, it will be filtered again -- decompressed.

 

If there is not a ready-to-use method for this, is there any way I can implement the idea?

 

TIA! Really appreciate any comments.
