I've configured firewall rules using iptables. Outbound packets are being blocked. It seems like outbound packets are enabled. Does the use of bonding change anything, or do I just have incomplete rules?

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i bond0 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o bond0 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o bond1 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i bond1 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i bond1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i bond1 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i bond1 -j DROP
/sbin/service iptables save

Has anyone used a Linux FS that supports transparent compression? We'd like to mount a partition where all files are compressed and access them through standard POSIX APIs. I know there is an add-on kernel module that extends ext3. Are there other/better options?
