Using NTFS filesystem on linux I am able to have a partition that is either compressing the data or not. To create this partition I can just use mkntfs.

When looking for a similar thing with the JFS filesystem I cannot find a way of turning on compression. Is it even possible to have an uncompressed JFS partition? If so how?

According to wikipedia, JFS1 on AIX is the only place you'll get JFS compression.

Of course it figures that the one place that I overlook is the most obvious. Thank you for the quick response. – cdbitesky Nov 18 '11 at 0:25
Just so you know, I don't necessarily rely on wikipedia as authoritative, but I couldn't find any reference confirming jfs on linux compression was possible. – Paul Nov 18 '11 at 0:28
