  6. Saying Y here includes support for SquashFS 4.0 (a Compressed
  7. Read-Only File System). Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only
  8. filesystem for Linux. It uses zlib compression to compress both
  9. files, inodes and directories. Inodes in the system are very small
  10. and all blocks are packed to minimise data overhead. Block sizes
  11. greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of 1 Mbytes (default
  12. block size 128K). SquashFS 4.0 supports 64 bit filesystems and files
  13. (larger than 4GB), full uid/gid information, hard links and
  14. timestamps.
  15. Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for
  16. archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in
  17. embedded systems where low overhead is needed. Further information
  18. and tools are available from http://squashfs.sourceforge.net.
  19. If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
  20. inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
  21. say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
  22. will be called squashfs. Note that the root file system (the one
  23. containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.
  24. If unsure, say N.

  32. config SQUASHFS_FRAGMENT_CACHE_SIZE
  33. int "Number of fragments cached" if SQUASHFS_EMBEDDED
  34. depends on SQUASHFS
  35. default "3"
  36. help
  37. By default SquashFS caches the last 3 fragments read from
  38. the filesystem. Increasing this amount may mean SquashFS
  39. has to re-read fragments less often from disk, at the expense
  40. of extra system memory. Decreasing this amount will mean
  41. SquashFS uses less memory at the expense of extra reads from disk.
  42. Note there must be at least one cached fragment. Anything
  43. much more than three will probably not make much difference.
