 desc: Squash filesystem
+longdesc:
+ Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. It uses zlib
+ compression to compress both files, inodes and directories. Inodes in the
+ system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise data overhead.
+ Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of 64K.
+ .
+ Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival
+ use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained
+ block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
+ needed.
