About:
Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6. It uses zlib to compress files, inodes, and directories. All blocks are packed to minimise the data overhead, and block sizes of between 4K and 32K are supported. It is intended to be used as a filesystem for archival use and in embedded systems where low overhead is needed, and has been tested on PowerPC, i586, SPARC, and ARM architectures.
