Hello listmates,

I am running mksquashfs trying to archive a 400GB+ directory. It has already
taken about a day and the resultant archive is only about 40GB thus far and
the command is not done yet. Has anyone made a squashfs that size? Is it
normal for the process to take this long? If it is not - what am I doing
wrong.

I am using the most basic syntax:

mksquashfs <directory name> <image name>

The process is running at 100% CPU.

Thanks for any and all help.

Boris.
