SquashFS for Puppy1

Pre-1.0.7 users can use it by renaming it to usr_more.sfs


1.0.7 users can do the following
edit your rc.local to add the following lines:-


echo  "Making more loop devices..."
mknod /dev/loop5 b: 7 5
mknod /dev/loop6 b: 7 6
mknod /dev/loop7 b: 7 7

if [ ! "`ls /mnt/home/usr_packagex.sfs 2> /dev/null`" = "" ];then
  mkdir /.usr_packagex
  echo "Mounting /mnt/home/usr_packagex.sfs file on /.usr_packagex..."
  losetup-FULL /dev/loop5 /mnt/home/usr_packagex.sfs
  mount -r -t squashfs -o noatime /dev/loop5 /.usr_packagex
  unionctl /usr --add  --after /root/.usr --mode ro /.usr_packagex
fi



if you are multiple .sfs files the increase then use the next /dev/loop that is empty i.e. the next usr*.sfs will go in /dev/loop6. If you run out of loops make new ones using mknod command as show above.
