Should I have picked an example where the code becomes horribly convoluted and there is nothing you can do about it? But since I am clearly the newbie, could you try to teach my stupid ass instead of just ridiculing it? What is the thing that makes a read only filesystem special? And why does everyone believe that I am arguing against merging squashfs when I'm not?
