Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
|
|
It uses either gzip/xz/lzo/lz4 compression to compress both files, inodes
|
|
and directories. Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are
|
|
packed to minimise data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported
|
|
up to a maximum of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K).
|
|
|
|
Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival
|
|
use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained
|
|
block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
This package contains tools to manipulate squashfs archive files.
