Even though the zlib api is clunky and strange, it is actually a better fit to the multi-page compressions that need to be done by btrfs. So adding LZO support would require some work to compress over multiple pages at a time. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
