Can SquashFS filesystems work with macOS El Capitan?
I am converting some .tar.gz to SquashFS (using squashfs from homebrew) using xz compression because I want to be able to mount the archives and read the content without extrating and also because the compression is about 10% better in my case.
Now I only found one implementation of SquashFS for OSXFuse here.
I am wondering what sort of driver or shim or software would be needed to let macOS work in any way (and hopefully read+write) with SquashFS?
If you have homebrew installed, it's as easy as running brew install squashfs
, and then either unsquashfs
or mksquashfs
depending on if you want to extract or make a comrpessed filesystem.
