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
I was unable to mount it read/write, if that matters. Error said it could only be mounted read-only. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Yes, SquassFS is a read-only FS. Which is fine for us as we intend to only use it for archiving purposes.

I think you had better look else where for 4 tera bytes

John,
You may well be right. As a test I decided to try on about 1.3TB and see what happens. The mksquashfs command has been running for about an hour, ate up about 2GB of RAM plus some swap; so far so good.
Boris.
