HI

Here is a patch for 2.6.14.5 of CBD
CBD is a compressed block device that is designed to shrink the file system size to 1/3 the original size. CBD is a block device on a file system so, it also allows for in-field upgrade of file system. If necessary is also allows for secure booting, with a GRUB patch.

Reply to email please.
