AFAIK, No. There is no compression facility in VxFS. That might have

Re: VxFS Question

yes, As Sharninder pointed out, there is no compression facility 
available in VxFS. fsadm -d option reorganizes the directory on the 
basis of of their access time. While doing this reorganization, it also 
frees up some space if possible.
