Hello,
My name is Darko Ilic, I`m working on Fedora live CD generator named Kadischi
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi).
Live CDs that Kadischi generates currently use zisofs, but IMHO it would be
much better to make them with SquashFS. According to the benchmark results
found at http://kerneltrap.org/files/PERFORMANCE.README.txt SquashFS is far
superior. It is faster and has higher compression ratio, and both of the
mentioned problems are present on live CDs Kadischi generates.
I wanted to ask what are the opinions on the subject, and is there any chance
for SquashFS to make it's way into Fedora kernel by FC5? I`ve heard it was
submitted to LKML recently and there was some discussions surrounding that
and that it is a likely candidate for the upstream kernel.
Since we`re trying to make the first Fedora live CDs for FC5, it would be
really nice to have SquashFS, because it would improve the quality of the
live CDs dramatically.
