Has anyone taken a look at 'cloop' as an alternative to 'squashfs'? If yes, were there any cons or pros? If no, would it be useful if I give it a shot?
Is there something particularly wrong with squashfs? I would think that if we were to change at all, we should probably go to cramfs which is now included in the linux kernel. Squashfs was originally chosen because at the time of the first livecd, cloop wasn't building correctly with linux-2.6.8.1, and squashfs seemed to provide better compression.
Lay out any pros and cons first, please, and then I could give you a better answer with regards to using cloop. As things stand right now, I see no need to change.
