Wow.  That's wonderful news!  Thank you so much!  I'm gonna use it to try KDE3.5 on C1000 shortly.

[pgas]

Is this working?

[ZDevil]

Sorry for not having tested it yet, as I'm still busy trying to make KDE usable on my C860, before things get out of hand and I am forced to ditch it...

According to this it says:

"Not recommended on CF cards (particularly Microdrives). Use SD cards for large squash filesystems."

Any idea why that might be? I was thinking of using the KDE-Lite squashfs package on a microdrive but would like to know what the ramifications are first

Heh, so you asked the same question too?

For the people too busy (lazy) to click on the link the answer is:

"I found during testing this on a 1Gb Microdrive that the PCMCIA card services were suspending the storage device. Resume delay was causing problems if you were in the process of accessing a squash file system stored on the device at the time"

Since now the pcmcia service does not eject microdrive (slot 1) on suspend the "only" potential problem is the microdrive's spinup time. What the heck, I'll give it a try

Any tests or problems?

FLASH NEWS!

Release Name: squashfs3.0

Notes:
First release of Squashfs3.0.  Squashfs 3.0 is a major
improvement to Squashfs, and adds everything (or most) of the
things people have been asking for: larger than 4GG
filesystems and files, hardlinks, etc.

Changes:
1. Filesystems are no longer limited to 4 GB.  In
   theory 2^64 or 4 exabytes is now supported.
2. Files are no longer limited to 4 GB.  In theory the
   maximum file size is 4 exabytes.
3. Metadata (inode table and directory tables) are no longer
   restricted to 16 Mbytes.
4. Hardlinks are now suppported.
5. Nlink counts are now supported.
6. Readdir now returns '.' and '..' entries.
7. Special support for files larger than 256 MB has been
   added to the Squashfs kernel code for faster read
   access.
8. Inode numbers are now stored within the inode rather than
   being computed from inode location on disk (this is not
   so much an improvement, but a change forced by the
   previously listed improvements).

all attachments are gone.....
Is there anywhere I can download this?
squashfs_2.2r2_armv5tel.ipk

I've checked the 1.1.0b1 and 1.1.0b3 feeds for cxxx0 and the 7 and 8 series.
There doesn't seem to be a squashfs module in any of these feeds.
Is a squashfs module included in 1.1.0b3?
I haven't found any complete documentation as to what IS included in beta 1 or beta 3
When I get my new Zaurus C3200, I want to be able to use squashfs images.

Thank you,
Jon
