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.
