Hello everybody, now that we support root filesystem on squashfs/overlayfs... Do we want to reduce image size some more?
Currently we generate a squashfs for each architecture, one for x86_64 and
one for i686. How about merging these into one filesystem? Only extra thing
to do is a bind mount for the subdirectory to /new_root.
The benefit is the deduplication support in squashfs, identical files are
added to the filesystem just once. I did not yet test with the official media,
but I'd expect the size to shrink about 120MB...
This has a drawback, though: Copy-to-RAM would copy the files for both
architectures, not just the needed one.
Any comments?
