Extensions mounted as cramf's and squashf's
(1/1)
gwalther:
From ....cpanel...system stats.....mounts
some extensions are mounted as cramf's, and some as squashf's
Should I redownload extensions so all are squashf's?
(currently running version tc 2.3rc3)
roberts:
Why are you still on any release candidate?
Release candidates are for testing only. Most have known bugs!
Please upgrade to the latest released version.
In v2.5 we have tce-update which will batch update your extensions.
Read change log on how to update your system files from release to release.
All extensions have been updated to squashfs.
gwalther:
Why am I still running tc2.3rc3...easy answer!
I like it...it works well.on my old kwirky hardware...and all my important apps (alsa,Xorg and JWM) now work without issues.
What I would like to know is whether I would see a real advantage in speed or installed size using extensions that use squashfs vs cramfs?
Jason W:
Cramfs worked with most extensions though it has limitations. File size, image size, uid/gid, and lack of time stamps are limitations it has the can adversely affect certain extensions. As mentioned, I would highly recommend updating any cramfs extensions to squashfs.
gwalther:
Thanks for response........updated all extensions to squashfs
about one half my extensions had been cramfs...
