Anyway, its generally bad, and the whole thing with Companies citing
2:1 compression ratios when listing device capacity is bulltwang and
is quite dishonest IMO
Ahmem to that. When I buy a 9Gb disk I get a 9gb disk I don't get some
bulltwang about it being 18Gb if I put a compressed file system on it.
But tapes, lying hounds!
