Oesf Forum Archive, ..squashfs mountable on Z Options

[speculatrix]

I used a program http://www.httrack.com/ to take a snapshot of the entire forum's in lofi format. I spidered the site at a slow speed and bandwidth so as to neither kill the forum nor my ADSL line!

I created a squashfs file system (I had to use an old version of mksquashfs to make it compatible with cacko), which you can store on your memory card and loopback mount on either the Z or a linux box (and probably OSX), e.g.:

CODE

   mkdir /mnt/oesfforlofi
   mount -t squashfs -o loop /mnt/card/oesfforlofi.squashfs /mnt/oesfforlofi
-or-
   mount -t squashfs -o loop /mnt/card/oesfforlofi.squashfs.nmz /mnt/oesfforlofi

or add to /etc/fstab:

CODE

  /mnt/card/oesfforlofi.squashfs /mnt/oesfforlofi squashfs loop,noauto,noatime,ro 0 0

There are two versions of the squashfs archive, one with and one without the .nmz suffix. The latter has a free-text search function using Namazu .

Please download it from Antikz's mirror at
oesfforlofi.squashfs.nmz -with search, 64MB or oesfforlofi.squashfs without search, 32MB; original files at my downloads

Added nmz details with Antikz's kind mirroring

I originally used cramfs but couldn't mount the archive on my linux/x86 box, so I tried squashfs and that worked on both and was quite a bit smaller than a zipfile; must use squashfs v2 as v3 is incompatible with Cacko's v2.

I just tried your command above with my directory setup,
mount -t squashfs -o loop,ro /hdd3/oesf/oesfforlofi.squashfs /mnt/oesf
but I got this error:
invalid argument.
