902 Saying Y here includes support for SquashFS 4.0 (a Compressed
903 Read-Only File System). Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only
904 filesystem for Linux. It uses zlib compression to compress both
905 files, inodes and directories. Inodes in the system are very small
906 and all blocks are packed to minimise data overhead. Block sizes
907 greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of 1 Mbytes (default
908 block size 128K). SquashFS 4.0 supports 64 bit filesystems and files
909 (larger than 4GB), full uid/gid information, hard links and
910 timestamps.
911
912 Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for
913 archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in
914 embedded systems where low overhead is needed. Further information
915 and tools are available from http://squashfs.sourceforge.net.
916
917 If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
918 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
919 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
920 will be called squashfs. Note that the root file system (the one
921 containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.

939 help
940 By default SquashFS caches the last 3 fragments read from
941 the filesystem. Increasing this amount may mean SquashFS
942 has to re-read fragments less often from disk, at the expense
943 of extra system memory. Decreasing this amount will mean
944 SquashFS uses less memory at the expense of extra reads from disk.
945
946 Note there must be at least one cached fragment. Anything
947 much more than three will probably not make much difference.
