(addressing compression)
Turning off compression is what I'm mainly wanting to do.
I frequently make large copies from or to removable media. That takes a
lot of time. Compression and decompression will make that even longer.
No it won't. The compression and decompression times are completely
insignificant and the transfer time to/from the external media will
totally overwhelm anything to do with the local disk anyway.
I've occasionally had to look into files with a hex editor. Might
compression interfere with that?
That would be very broken. Nothing in user or kernel space knows
anything about the compression other than the filesystem driver itself.
