Uncompressed squashfs
Posted: Fri 07 Jul 2006, 16:44
Hello,
I apologize if this isn't the appropriate forum section for such a request. Please move it to a more appropriate section if this is the case. I'm just trying to get the best visibility I can for it among the regulars.
I work for a major manufacturer of computer hardware and we're seriously considering Puppy as a candidate for testing our flashdrive-embedded OS proof-of-concept project. Without going into too much initial detail, we're trying to determine the extent of chipset bottleneck in computer boot speeds.
In order to demonstrate our solution, we need to show the difference between booting an OS that is decompressed at boot time and booting an OS that is not decompressed at boot time (but is still in archival format). The two OS platforms must otherwise be identical.
Really this is just a long way of asking someone here who has a properly configured Puppy host-compiler environment to please make available a pup_201.sfs file that has been created with mksquashfs using the -noD -noF and -noI command line parameters. These parameters of course cause squashfs to create the .sfs file without any compression.
If someone here (and I realize this would most likely be Barry, since his host system is the source of the distro) could make available an uncompressed pup_201.sfs, we would be eternally grateful.
We're willing to attempt the feat ourselves, but we haven't managed to set up a proper host-compile environment and will probably need some guidance building one that would provide what we're looking for.

P.S. We're using Puppy in the office here more and more. We love it!
