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.
It is used in the making of Live CDs as in Linux. CentOS Live CD 5 uses it

John,
Thanks, I know that. But live CD (under 1GB) is one thing; a large data set (say, 4TB) could be something else. I'd like to know, among other things, if SquashFS could be practically used to create an archive of that size (and compress it as it goes, too).
Boris.
