940 Saying Y here includes support for SquashFS 4.0 (a Compressed
941 Read-Only File System). Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only
942 filesystem for Linux. It uses zlib compression to compress both
943 files, inodes and directories. Inodes in the system are very small
944 and all blocks are packed to minimise data overhead. Block sizes
945 greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of 1 Mbytes (default
946 block size 128K). SquashFS 4.0 supports 64 bit filesystems and files
947 (larger than 4GB), full uid/gid information, hard links and
948 timestamps.
949
950 Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for
951 archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in
952 embedded systems where low overhead is needed. Further information
953 and tools are available from http://squashfs.sourceforge.net.
954
955 If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
956 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
957 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
958 will be called squashfs. Note that the root file system (the one
959 containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.

977 help
978 By default SquashFS caches the last 3 fragments read from
979 the filesystem. Increasing this amount may mean SquashFS
980 has to re-read fragments less often from disk, at the expense
981 of extra system memory. Decreasing this amount will mean
982 SquashFS uses less memory at the expense of extra reads from disk.
983
984 Note there must be at least one cached fragment. Anything
985 much more than three will probably not make much difference.
