I already started working on this feature some time ago. I think I am able to
mount cramfs images with another endianness. But all I have to test this are
images that use LZO compression istead of deflate.
In the original post I was just asking somebody possessing a big endian
machine to create an image in big endian / deflate format. This would help me
a lot. Later, I want to add support for multiple compression algorithms.
Thanks so far,
Andi
