SquashFS is a compressed read-only file system for Linux. SquashFS compresses files, inodes and directories, and supports block sizes up to 1 MB for greater compression. SquashFS is also the name of free/open software, licensed under the GPL, for accessing SquashFS filesystems. SquashFS is intended for general read-only file system use and in constrained block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed. The original version of SquashFS used gzip compression, although Linux kernel 2.6.34 added support for LZMA and LZO compression, Linux kernel 2.6.38 added support for LZMA2 compression (which is used by xz), and Linux kernel 3.19 added support for LZ4 compression.〔(Merge of LZ4 Squashfs support ) to Linus Torvalds tree.〕 Linux kernel 2.6.35 added support for extended file attributes. ==Uses== SquashFS is used by the Live CD versions of Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo Linux, Linux Mint, Salix, Ubuntu and on embedded distributions such as the OpenWrt and DD-WRT router firmware. It is also used in Chromecast.〔http://blog.gtvhacker.com/2013/chromecast-exploiting-the-newest-device-by-google/〕 It is often combined with a union mount filesystem, such as UnionFS, OverlayFS, or aufs, to provide a read-write environment for live Linux distributions. This takes advantage of both the SquashFS's high speed compression abilities and the ability to alter the distribution while running it from a live CD. Distributions such as Debian Live, Mandriva One, Puppy Linux, Salix Live and Slax use this combination. The on-disk format of SquashFS has stabilized enough that it has been merged into the 2.6.29 version of the Linux kernel. In that process, the backward-compatibility code for older formats was removed. SquashFS is also used by Linux Terminal Server Project and Splashtop. The tools ''unsquashfs'' and ''mksquashfs'' have been ported to Windows NT〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Squashfs tools for Windows; Forum Thread )〕 - Windows 8.1,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SquashFS Tools (Linux/Windows) )〕 7-Zip claims to support SquashFS, although it is unsupported in the current 9.20 release; there is some support in alpha/beta versions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「squashfs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
