In the wonderful world of DOS, filesystem compression utilities are
becoming popular. With the DOS 6.2 I just installed on my machine, I
was encouraged to use dblspace. Apparently there's some other
popular package named "stacker" or some such.
Well, my dblspace'd msdos filesystem wouldn't mount with mount_msdos,
so I concluded that the compressed variants of DOS filesystems are
not currently supported by NetBSD.
Does anyone know what it would take to support these guys? Is there
a standard format for the compression used?
Thanks,
Craig
