It could be made non-seeking, but, in doing so it will remove many of the editing operations possible at the moment. This is an example Pseudo file generated by Unsquashfs...

No, the output has to be seekable (which a pipe isn't). This is first because the Squashfs superblock (which contains information about where things are placed in the filesystem and...

Interesting you should bring that up ... That idea, along with block deduplication (see issue https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/issues/58) and others has been on the back-burner as improvements since at least 2009 !...

Well as you said "For backwards-compatibility purposes, I bet y'all really want to add a command-line switch to enable this expanded output." I'm not opposed to adding new command-line options,...

I used BSD 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and Unix version 7 back in the 1980s and early 1990s, on various machines including DEC PDP 11's, DEC VAX 11/780 and later various...

Note for your information, this issue can be worked-around using Mksquashfs actions. The actions equivalent to -all-root is -action "guid(0,0)@true" This sets all uids/gids to root. The difference is pseudo...

To update a file in a Squashfs filesystem requires unpacking and rebuilding. To put it simply, a Squashfs filesystem is like a brick wall, each successive layer depends on the...

> @Dr-Emann So block-level deduplication isn't possible, but a file that's a subset of another should be, right? I designed the layout and wrote the code and so I think...
