It looks like squash fs does not have the same 2 gig limit

[tr]

“Just for your information, the 2.6.15-devx kernels all have squashfs 3drivers, and the sqaush-tools not really important, since the >2G file is created by the kernel driver, but the LFS(LargeFileSupport) enabled busybox from the exp repo is crucial.�

It would seem that some new kernels have overcome the 2 gig limit. When they say “iso� is that a reference to the iso9660? This distro functions and has a file that is 3.88 gig file.

I'm very instrested of this stuff, too. I have compiled squashfs as a module in my kernels, see e.g. http://tapsa.terae.net/linux/knoppix...2.6.16-beyond1

I know that Kano uses busybox in his Kanotix and squashfs. But if you use cloop image, squashs in the kernel don't profit anything. You must use squashfs instead as far as I can see. So the 2 gig limit exists using cloop image in spite of kernel's squashfs module, or have I missed something?
