No no no. This breaks device nodes etc quite badly.
A change to mkcramfs might be fine - but it has to conditionalize on the

True..., but cramfs is acting like a mountable (tar czvf) because of the
compressed pages. Seems redundant to have a tar on top of what is basically
a segmented tar with frontal

Hi Linus,
hi all,
cramfs is a read-only fs. So we should honour that in inode->mode
to avoid confusion of programs.
My isofs shows this too, so I think I'm right deleting the write
permissions in the inode. May be we should change it in
mkcramfs (too).
I don't know what POSIX says about RO fs,

Ingo,
You can use (GNU-)tar for this. It even keeps track of other bits like
ext2fs attributes, AFAIK.
