Fatdog64-802/801/800 Final [21 May 2019]

[jamesbond]

I think we haven't compiled that one yet. Maybe someone here in the forum will listen to your request and provide a contributed package.

Alternatively, what I usually do is I use youtube-dl and watch the video using vlc (or ffplay-gtk - which works very well in Fatdog too). It's not as automated and nice as youtube-viewer, but it works.

Hi jamesbond
Thanks for your reply !
I did use this sfs by Argolance.

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 5566d92371

Of corse I had to load the 32bit compatibility
sfs to use it ! Seems to work ok ! And since I am running in ram I dont save anything as far as config files etc. I just let it get flushed and reload again when I need to use it !
Would like to see a newer pkg for 64bit fatdog though !
Thank you again !

Hello again
Just wondering is there an easy way to merge or combine sfs,pets,txz,etc
packages into one ?
Thanks

Easiest way is to make an SFS package...

Code: Select all

mksquashfs /tmp/mypackage /path/to/where/you/want/to/keep/the/result.sfs -noappend -comp xz -Xbcj x86

https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/f ... ckage.html

Hi don570 !
I appreciate the reply ! however thats not what I was trying to ask !
I wanted to know an easy way to merge or combine 2 or more sfs files

The way I'd do it would be to

modprobe overlay
(so ... cat /proc/filesystems | grep overlay ... shows that overlay fs is loaded)

and then mount both sfs's
mkdir a b
mount a.sfs a
mount b.sfs b

prepare a top level view of the overlaid combination
mkdir top

and then overlay mount that

mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=a:b top

and then form a sfs of that top view
mksquashfs top combined.sfs

Note that the lowerdir=a:b order means that b is below a, it works left = topmost, right = lowest. So if you had 3 mounted sfs's ac then if a file occurred in all three then its the one in 'a' that shines through.

Afterwards

umount top a b
rmdir top a b

For reference that's a read only overlay. If you wanted to overlay and have rw then the format is

mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=a:b,upperdir=changes,workdir=work top

For which you need two other folders, changes and work here, and both of those must be on the same filesystem (i.e. create them in the same folder). When viewing top then any changes made in that have the changes recorded in the 'changes' folder (upperdir= ). The work folder is just a transitional folder that overlay uses as a work area (that must be a empty folder). The changes folder can be pre-existing, i.e. perhaps the changes folder from a earlier session of mounting that particular set of sfs's.

If there is a reason why the packages need to loaded in special order
due to libraries....

I can launch KRITA paint program this way

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH= ./krita-4.1.7-x86_64.appimage

Re: merging multiple sfs files

Whatever the method you choose to merge Fatdog64 SFS files, if multiple archives include script /tmp/sfs/autorun.sh you will need to merge the scripts manually into a single script. Fatdog runs autorun.sh upon loading/unloading an SFS.
