[PATCH 6/7] Squashfs: update Kconfig and documentation for LZO

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Update compression types supported and add some help text for
the LZO Kconfig option.

Also add missing "default n" line and make some trivial whitespace
cleanups too.

 =======================

 Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
-It uses zlib compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
+It uses zlib/lzo compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
 Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise
 data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum
 of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K).
