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).
From wikipedia:
Max file size 16 EiB Max volume size 16 EiB

JD,
Thanks, I've seen this too. It is just a matter of practical testing - and I am doing the testing right now. If it turns out that creating a storage that size after SquashFS is exceedingly slow - or requires an inadequate amount of resources - then we may abandon this idea for something different.
Boris.
