What if you use a lower revision kernel? Have you updated your kernel recently? Basically, are you sure it isn't the kernel, but is the mksquashfs application? I've been using -r6 for a while now and this bug just recently appeared. I narrowed the issue down to when I go over some amount of files or total bytes inputed into mksquashfs it generates an invalid squashfs image. What's the largest file you've done? I've been doing 700MB images and it's been working fine, so I'd like to try to narrow this down and report it upstream. I was making working squashfs images with 1.2-1.4Gb system directories. The problem popped up around 1.8Gb. I just added squashfs-tools 2.2 into portage. Can you see if this resolves your problem, please? There's a 2.2 and a 2.2_p2 ebuild in portage. Please respond if these don't resolve the issue. I tested them, they work perfectly. |
