https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208719 --- Comment #4 from deference@xxxxxxxx --- On the suggestion to not use reiserfs: My interest in using reiserfs was so that I would have tail packing. I've searched online and can't find another FS with this function for Linux. The reason I need tail packing is because I keep a bunch of mostly git repositories on my system. These contain a lot of files that are either small or are empty. I could try to hardlink all the empty files and small duplicate files, but git would complain. I could compress the source code like I do with normal code bases, but then I'd need to decompress and update them all. Writing a script to do that would be nothing, it's just the time involved compressing/decompressing that would be a waist (which is saying nothing compared to git's love for full histories instead of up-to-the-last-4-versions or something). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
