squashfs support for mount?

Post by beatfreak »

i am trying to mount a squashfs image but no luck...

Code: Select all

# /bin/busybox mount -t squashfs /dtv/usb/sda1/SamyGO/squashimg /dtv/usb/sda1/SamyGO/mnt 
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /dtv/usb/sda1/SamyGO/mnt failed
# /bin/busybox mount -o rw,loop /dtv/usb/sda1/SamyGO/squashimg /dtv/usb/sda1/SamyGO/mnt 
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /dtv/usb/sda1/SamyGO/mnt failed
so i guess there is no support for squashfs, would it simply be compiling fs-modules for armv7 arch and insmod them?

would be really nice to have this working, as 1,5GB pvrimage would only cost ~100KB on pendrive :mrgreen:

EDIT:
cat /proc/mounts gives that already some of the native partitions are mounted with squashfs...
i used squashfs v4.0
//UE40C6500 @ T-VALDEUC 3011 // rooted manual HotelMode style // PVR to NFS via 18MB on-the-fly sparse XFS // >> decommissioned due to tuner death
//UE46F8090 @ T-FXPDEUC 1136 // rooted by new Widget // root starting with empty usb drive
FYI: you can close your ssh session with SamyGO with

Code: Select all

If you can't fix it using dvct tape, you are not using enough dvct tape.

you know that squashfs is a read only filesystem?

i was just thinking of some kind of linking-trick to fake the mounted xfsimage be writable...

no alternate compressed filesystems to hold xfsimage? jffs2?
