When reading, I see strange data in my file.

Then do a `lsattr' on the file. It will probably display `*' at the place you would have expected c. (The reason you didn't get `file busy' is that evidently nobody else has the file open.) One way to re-enable automatic decompression is to do `chattr -X' on the file.

If this is not the case then it is probably a bug in e2compr, and should be reported to the e2compr list (e2compr@list.fuller.edu). (I (pjm) have already found and corrected one or two such bugs, so there may be more.)

Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
