compressed filesystem / file system compress compression

i have been searching all over to find a way to have a writable compressed filesystem in ubuntu/linux

ideally i would function like so

mount -o loop image.tar.gz /mount/point/

i would prefer to compress the image in one of the following formats
tar.gz
tar.bz2
rar
zip/Z

this image MUST be writable so the squashfs technique wont work for me

squashfs is exactly what i want but writable...
with squashfs i can take 1 CD worth of data and put that into the squashfs image, then mount and access the data. the only differect is that i need to be able to write to the image also.

any help would be much appreciated
