Information for amd64 users
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All previous releases of Squashfs (2.0-alpha and older) generate incorrect
|
||
|
|
filesystems on amd64 machines. These filesystems work correctly on amd64
|
||
|
|
machines, but cannot be mounted on non-amd64 machines. Likewise, filesystems
|
||
|
|
generated on non amd64 machines could not be mounted on amd64 machines.
|
||
|
|
This bug was caused by the different size of the "time_t" definition used in
|
||
|
|
SquashFS filesystem structures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This bug is now fixed in this release. However, all amd64 filesystems
|
||
|
|
generated by previous releases will not be mountable on amd64 machines
|
||
|
|
with this release. If you have pre-existing amd64 generated filesystems,
|
||
|
|
it is important that you recreate the filesystem. This can be performed
|
||
|
|
by mounting the filesystem using a kernel with the original patch
|
||
|
|
(i.e. a 2.0-alpha or older patch) and running the SquashFS 2.0
|
||
|
|
(i.e. this release) mksquashfs tool to create a new SquashFS filesystem.
