Hi, We know that we can mount a file that contains squashfs in it on Linux like that: `#mount thefile /mnt/mountpoint -t squashfs -o loop` Then, how could we perform the same operation on Windows?

squashfs is a linux kernel module, you don't have a linux kernel on windows. you can try to compile userspace tools, there's a guide and some patches that probably have to be updated http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1892634&forum_id=215699 you may better ask the author of that thread, Rajiv Narayan.

Actually I need to mount and browse the Slax modules on Windows. I don't need to create them on Windows, just mounting is needed. As far as I understand without reading all of the thread, he compiled mksquashfs for Windows. It's not what I'm looking for. Thanks though, I'll ask Rajiv Narayan...

a simple linux virtual machine with samba bridges the o/s gap quite nicely

you can not mount it on windous ,it s not allowed :) ne ,really ,you can not mount it ,just possibly extract its contents

if you use squashfs tools windows patch you can extract slax cd to windows directory using unsquashfs. And there is a way to "mount" squashfs on windows. Install vmware, install linux on a virtual machine, mount the directory and share it with samba. then you can mount it as a network drive. I've built live cd that can mount any squashfs image - including 3.0, 3.1 and also supports LZMA compression. it uses CentOS installation and a SLAX kernel. I'll post a link later (I have to install samba on it). mail me if I forget - nicksoft at g mail

I know that this thread is quite old but it'll be useful for people that find it later. I've compiled squashfs tools for windows - everyone posts patches and no one compiled files: http://download.nicksoft.info/linux/backuplivecd/squashfs-tools.zip Also I have made the live cd that mounts squashfs filesystems. Here is the url: http://download.nicksoft.info/linux/backuplivecd/backlivecd.iso How to use the CD: 1. name all filesystems you want to mount .sqfs.img 2. inject squashfs filesystem(s) using ultraiso or other iso tool. 3. boot the live cd. 4. if you don't have DHCP server or it doesn't work - login as root (no password) and configure your network 5. you should be able to mount squashfs images as \\ip\backuplivecd (no password needed) good luck

This looks cool. I will put those two mksquashfs.exe and unsquashfs.exe files on Slax FTP. Would you please tell me your name or something, so I could put it to the README file so you'll get credit for your work? Thank you.

I forgot to menthion that it needs cygwin1.dll - I included it in zip file - download it again

	nikolay pelov wrote 4 years ago	reply
hmmm. I don't see my previous post. Again - my name is Nikolay Pelov. thanks for mention it in readme

	nikolay pelov wrote 4 years ago	reply
if you also include my site www.nicksoft.info I would be grateful.

	Tomas M wrote 4 years ago	reply
I put it on ftp. Nevertheless, I had to add a warning to the readme file... your tools do not support LZMA compression at all so it is completely unusable for Slax modules.

	npelov wrote 4 years ago	reply
If I succeed compiling squashfs tools for windows with lzma support I'll post it here.

	npelov wrote 4 years ago	reply
As I promised - you can download squashfs tools with LZMA support from here: http://download.nicksoft.info/linux/backuplivecd/squashfs-tools.zip Have a nice squashing and slaxing :)

Nikolay: it works like a charm! There is a easy way to use your program from Win: unzip your pack wherever you want, go to a module, right click, "open with", browse to unsquashfs.exe and you're done. Now you have got the decompressed module in a new folder called squashfs-root. More, it works with the old format modules for Slax 5, as well.

	markds wrote 4 years ago	reply
Works perfectly Nikolay. May I have your permission to distribute the tools as part of my own Slax based livecd?

You can distribute it. I'll be glad if you put my name (Nikolay Pelov) and my homepage (http://www.nicksoft.info). However I had some problems with it.
