I can find nothing about CRAMFS - not even what it stands for - is it CRAM as in squeeze it all in or Compressed RAM meaning it uses loads of RAM to expand into. Just a hint in the right direction here would help!! For SQUASHFS, I'm unsure as to how mature it is and what its memory overhead is since its using zlib - would the discussions about sharing zlib workspace be relevant here as well? Does anyone have a horror story particular to either of these technologies?
