Most Linux distributions now employing SquashFS for their live system so they 
are blazing fast even though being run from a slow USB 2.0 stick. I'm posting 
this mail on one of such live system. I found OpenIndiana is using another 
technology: https://ptribble.blogspot.com/2012/10/those-strange-zlib-files.html

Does this technology comparable to SquashFS? And if SquashFS is better, is 
there any plan to switch to SquashFS?

I found when I dd-ed the .usb image into my usb, it only fills a small extent 
of my storage space. How could I extend it to fit to all of my storage space? 
Could I make a partition from the unused space to store data?

Linux is too good at being a live system. The MX Live USB Creator handled all 
of this for me. I'm posting from a live MX Linux system. Nowadays, finding a 
live system not being a Linux distro is hard. So I really appreciate 
OpenIndiana.
