Package: squashfs-tools Version: 1:4.2+20130409-2 Severity: normal Hello,
I'm using squashfs for full backups of my laptop, from a (quiet) LVM snapshot. I run sha256sum checksums on each file, then run mksquashfs /freeze /backup/$timestamp.backup.squashfs \ -always-use-fragments -processors 2 then mount the resulting squashfs file system and compare the checksums. Over the years, I've seen checksum errors occasionally. I have recently started to use virtual machines, so I now have more very large files in my backup. Since then, the number of problems seemed to have increased substantially The current backup saw two of these. Interestingly, in both cases, the problem is very close to the end of the file. For the record: In either case, the file length, according to ls -l, is the same for the original and the copy in the squashfs. One file is 2776104960 bytes long, a plain "cmp" run finds the first inconsistency at byte 2776018945, a mere 86015 bytes from the end. The other file is 7831814144 bytes long, a plain "cmp" finds the first inconsistency at byte 7831683073, a mere 131071 bytes from the end.
