It's not just the thingie in the "Properties" tab for the drive itself, is it?


Nope. That seems to just say compress the entire drive.

Somewhere in the SMB protocol it does send info on if a file can be compressed or not, since my Samba share here at home doesn't reveal an option when I connect with an XP or 2000 cloent. It seems that Microsoft doesn't have this exposed in an easy to change way though.
