Hello.

I read somewhere that AXFS is going to be a part of Linux kernel 2.6.28
( http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6179099416.html?kc=rss )

What are the advantages of AXFS compared to squashfs?
Why not to include squashfs instead?

Thank you

It's been posted a single time, and only reviewed once.  Unless we get
another ten rcs for 2.6.27 it's highly unlikely that it'll make 2.6.28.

Depends on what you are doing and what features you care about.  You
can read some of the threads starting ~Aug 20th for the details.

To be clear, the submission of AXFS has nothing at all to do with
squashfs.  It's not a || it's an && operation.

But yeah, Christoph is right.  2.6.28 is iffy for AXFS anyway.
