hello,
What is the status of the cryptcompress feature?  Is it stable enough for
desktop use, or only for experimentation?

Compression works and is stable, encryption is not implemented and it seems it never will be.


Also, is there any documentation that explains how to use the feature?  I
seem to recall there was a mount options that turns it on, but also to use
it I need to know how to do key management for encrypting files which I
haven't found.

For compression, just format the FS with -o create=ccreg40.
I also recommend setting hash to tea, since r5 hashing usually generates
collisions for me, especially when compiling big stuff like GCC or OO.org,
leading to minor corruptions requiring an offline fsck.
