[ale] e2compr

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

Hello,


I'm using the e2compr pack to try to squeeze a large number of files into flash RAM and am experiencing corruption.


I have done the following steps:


1. download Linux 2.2.12 from ftp://ftp.kernel.org
2. added e2compr patch
3. build kernel with compression enabled
4. made e2fsprogs
5. booted under new kernel
6. created new filesystem
7. mke2fs /dev/fla1
8. tune2fs -O compression /dev/fla1
9. mount /dev/fla1 /mnt
10. cp files /mnt
11. chattr -m gzip9 +X files
12. chattr +c *
13. file * 
???????? FILE1: data?? (was X font)


did I miss a step?


Thanks,
Chris
