You could use BTRFS with its "compression=lzo" mount-option, available
since Linux 2.6.38. [1]

I don't know if LZ4 and Snappy will integrated into Linux 3.4, but you
can try them out pulling changes from
[4] http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/btrfs-unstable.git
(dev/compression-squad branch)

Compared to LZO, LZ4 doesn't show any measurable performance increase
for read-only access.
