Note that 1) number of layers in an overlay is limited. That's an arbitrary limit that cnaby changed usually but something to keep in mind. How many layers would a live system with multitude of squashfs images and multitude of persistence layers have? 2) composing multiple squashfs images is not always practical. httpfs can only mount one file because http has no inherent directory semantics but to baheve like a normal filesystem it creates an empty directory that contains that one file. To mount multiple images using httpfs you will probably have to resort to multitudes of mountpoints and some symlinks/binds. The multiple squashfs images also do not provide any advantage for custom images. Thanks Michal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
