For use cases such as embedded firmware, the limitations are non-interesting, and the compression savings are very interesting. Especially where the resulting filesystem has to creep through slow wires such as half duplex serial links etc. Have been using squashfs 2.2 up to 3.4 without problems for years, for distribution of Linux based firmwares into embedded devices. Many thanks for your continued efforts on mainlining squashfs, Regards, -- Leon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
