I downloaded a bunch of PDBs (3D chemical models) from the nice folks at
wwdb.com and their rsync script. It's around 7.3 GiB when broken into
subdirectories and each subdir is tarred and bzipped, but around 40-45 GiB
decompressed. That's the sort of thing I can't justify keeping around
uncompressed, but the viewer doesn't dive into archives automatically. Is
there any sort of filesystem that stores data compressed then uncompresses
it automatically, sort of like Stacker for Linux? I guess if there were
software which enabled random access on a compressed file and I
loopback-mounted that file, that would work.
