>From Documentation/filesystems/ubifs.txt:

compr=none              override defoult comressor and set it to "none"
compr=lzo               override defoult comressor and set it to "lzo"
compr=zlib              override defoult comressor and set it to "zlib"

Just make sure you use up-to-date UBIFS, because this was added
recently. And I guess this should also be mentioned somewhere on the web
site.
