About:
Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only
filesystem for Linux. It uses zlib to compress
files, inodes, and directories. All blocks are
packed to minimize the data overhead, and block
sizes of between 4K and 1M are supported. It is
intended to be used for archival use, for live
CDs, and for embedded systems where low overhead
is needed.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
This release has a lot of improvements, both to the filesystem itself (bigger blocks and sparse files) and to the tools Mksquashfs and Unsquashfs, which now support wildcard pattern matching in exclude/extract files. There are other improvements and bugfixes.
