INSTALLING SQUASHFS |
|
|
|
The squashfs4.3.tar.gz file contains the squashfs-tools directory containing |
|
mksquashfs and unsquashfs. |
|
|
|
1. Kernel support |
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
This release is for 2.6.29 and newer kernels. Kernel patching is not necessary. |
|
|
|
Extended attribute support requires 2.6.35 or newer. File systems with |
|
extended attributes can be mounted on 2.6.29 and newer kernels (the |
|
extended attributes will be ignored with a warning). |
|
|
|
LZO compression support requires 2.6.36 or newer kernels. |
|
|
|
XZ compression support requires 2.6.38 or newer kernels. |
|
|
|
LZ4 support is not yet in any mainline kernel. |
|
|
|
2. Building squashfs tools |
|
-------------------------- |
|
|
|
The squashfs-tools directory contains the mksquashfs and unsquashfs programs. |
|
These can be made by typing make (or make install to install in /usr/local/bin). |
|
|
|
By default the tools are built with GZIP compression and extended attribute |
|
support. Read the Makefile in squashfs-tools/ for instructions on building |
|
LZO, LZ4 and XZ compression support, and for instructions on disabling GZIP |
|
and extended attribute support if desired.
