Hm. I tried to make the same thing and got the same idea with
calculating the offset area before writting data, but was too lazy to
implement it (we have RAM ;).

Buggy. Fails when using unexpected block size:
# mkisofs -R -l -print-size -quiet mutt | create_compressed_fs - /tmp/test.img.cl 64000 216760320
Block size 64000, number of blocks 3387.
offset is 136
13688
Partial read (7 bytes of 64000), padding with zeros.
Block# 0 / 3386 size 7 -> 94 [compression ratio 1342%, overall: 1342%] 0% done
Done.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.

Stimmt doch eh nicht, die letzten beiden wissen wenigstens, wie man etwas baut!
