I'm sure that more than a few might use it in some form if such a limit is removed - why lock us into a corner that when we do get around to fixing it we need a new on-disk format and then we might have a new filesystem, squashfs2 or whatever. > are many people outside that use > squashfs on different platforms and want to have it integrated to > mainline kernel. so why are you blocking? I think that's because people see a potential in it that has a flaw that should be taken care of so that MORE people can use it, and not ONLY "embedded people with 8 or 32 MB". Seriously, noone's flaming here - I think what people want is for a limit to be removed, and that is not in my eyes a bad thing. // Stefan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCP8cGBrn2kJu9P78RAsTnAKCfslYF0ez4Wkt5xgKs7AXXp1KlUgCgt0y/ pX+t5HtVhQ+EvIo667XaDBA= =Q6RX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
