This is more likely not the correct place to ask, but I am interested
in finding out more about mksquashfs. Currently I notice that
root-image.fs.sfs once mounted gives root-image.fs which then also has

root-image. Have noticed that some other live isos only need to copy
out image to new install.
MrG
what you want to do?
This is done in this way because we need a writable block device plus
compression, this is done:
[rw-fs] (ext4 /) -> [dm-snapshot] -> {ro-fs-loop} (origin) +
{rw-cow-loop} (COW)
{ro-fs-loop} -> [fs-image] -> [ro-sfs-loop] -> [sfs-image] -> [ro-fs]
(iso9660 / extfs / vfat)
{rw-cow-loop} -> [cow-image] -> [rw-fs] (tmpfs/non-persistent |
extfs/persistent)
