compressed image support #608

Open eadmaster opened 8 years ago

eadmaster commented 8 years ago

I'd like to suggest adding compressed image support using btrfs to save some storage space.

Btrfs must be maintained in Android kernel but this is usually not the case.

You're right about that, what about using a fuse-based filesystem then? There is also f2fs which is well-supported, but it is not clear to me if it supports transparent compression or not...
