Any time you log in as a user different than the one who owns the X

There is a compressed ext2 (linux) file system. Like any compressed fs
though -- it is best left untouched. It is safer and not that much more
expensive to get a bigger drive. man is you friend. man -k
gives lots of nice help. There are also numerous HOWTOs in

Use df (disk free).
For compression you can look for tar and zip.
I don't think that there is disk compression utility. But I could be
