Implement the "squash" output format, i.e. a squashfs compressed filesystem. This was implemented in diskimage-builder upstream as commit 9d13084c4183b63587e1f5e4b03395a8df6538f6. --- dib/Makefile.am | 1 + dib/output_format_squashfs.ml | 39 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ dib/utils.ml | 1 + dib/virt-dib.po...

Introduce a new API to create a new squashfs filesystem out of a path in the guest. It can be configured to exclude paths based on patterns, and to select which compression use for the filesystem. The advantage of running mksquashfs directly in the appliance is that ownerships are properly saved, as opposed to tar_out + local untar. --- ap...

Hello listmates, Have any of you used SquashFS? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SquashFS We have tried it on small file sets, seems good but if you have experience using it, especially to store/archive lage volumes of files, please share your experience. Thanks. Boris.

...ed PXE/kickstart system using various local mirrors but it alway hung after partitioning with no further exception. When I encountered squshfs errors on the Console (text based / kickstart installation) I re-synced (rsync) with CERN mirror afterwards with switch.ch mirror and fh-esslingen - But the squashfs image remained corrupt. To prove my suspicion i've finally copied the file from Netboot.iso into our local mirror and voil? - finally the installation works as expected. Just wanted to let you know - it might save man people from many hours of trouble ... Please check - and keep up the great...

I have a dovecot server running under CentOS using maildir format.? Due to the issue with minimum blocksize for files I would like to offer some kind of readonly archive using something like the compressed squashfs? where I would move messages to be archived to a maildir folder and then convert "cur" directory into a squashfs and mount it in place of the original directory so my biggest users could have readonly access to older messages without it using so much disk space. Has anyone tried anything...

Question, Some Linux distributions I support show two approaches for pxe booting them. One uses memdisk to boot an ISO file. The other uses pxelinux to boot kernel and initrd a squashfs file. I'm unfamiliar with the impact to memory either approach has. Like, does using memdisk permanently squirrel away a chunk of memory for the ISO file that the OS will be unable to use? Is using initrd to pull down the squashfs file more or less efficient? I would appreciate any insight! Ap...

Hello all I have squashfs file i want use as root filesystem for diskless machines (PXE boot). I can't figure out how to configure it. I was able to embed this file in initrd (builded by dracut) - but i don't know how to mount it in /sysroot automatically, and what put in 'kernel=' commandline option. Mayb...

Hello, Is it possible for syslinux to boot from a different partition ? I have a UFD with 2 partitions. The first one is fat32 and the second one is a squashfs. I have the OS files in the squashfs partition. As the syslinux won't boot from a squashfs partition, I thought of creating a fat32 (first partition) and install syslinux in it. If I do that, is it possible to configure syslinux to boot from the squashfs partition ? I read from the following u...

I'm need to create squashfs from root file system. I see some methods like tar and cpio, but i can't find anything suitable for creating squashfs. Also i can't use root permissions and need to work only with user rights. -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov@selfip.ru jabber: vase@selfip.ru

...ss to the net in their office can use/test a database project. So, going on, I would like to add the code and database to the CD, so that the user can open Firefox and use the application from the local webserver. I see that the structure of the CD is an ext3fs.img with the root filesystem in a squashfs.img in the iso file. If I change the content of the ext3fs.img can I put it back on the rw mounted squashfs.img and that in the iso? If yes, I assume I would need to cater for a necessary resize of the images. If no or if there is a better way, how? Kai -- Kai Sch?tzl, Berlin, Germany Get yo...

Hello. I'm trying to add option to grub menu (amongst other options) to boot from squashfs image. But 'root=live:/path/tofile' doesn't work. I didn't find anything useful on the internet. Anybody can point me in right direction? Maybe better choice is to replace grub with isolinux? I have working solution with iso with squashfs booting through PXE, but i don't know h...

The tests currently break on my Debian machine. The reason is that the squashfs that we use to store test data has an incompatible format with the kernel used in the appliance. Anyway, avoid using a squashfs at all, and use an ISO instead.
