Dustin, Tyler:

my 2 cents:

can we do zlib compression before you mangle it into the POSIX lower name?

most long file names are human-readable, which mostly means redundant;

I did a zlib compression test with some 1K of my files with name size > 100 chars;
result: about 4.0 compression ratio : 4 bytes into 1; chances are everything will fit!

and thank you for ecryptfs!

cheers,

Andrei
