    Hi folks,

    What will be the easy way to edit files in the squash image, AAA.sqfs.  After editing put them back to the image.

    Please advise  TIA

      Hi Stephen

      Squashfs is a read-only filesystem.  If you edit a file then the only way you can put the edited file back into the Squashfs filesystem is to re-generate it with Mksquashfs...

        There is any application for windows user to modifiy the images squashed?

        Can i suggest to create an GUI for all the system for editing images? I suppose a better evolution for your FS!!!

      Hi Phillip,

      Tks for your advice. 

      I read the HOWTO before but can't figure out;
      # mksquashfs source1 source2 ... destination [options]

      What will be source1, soucrce2, destination, etc.

      E.G.
      Existing squash file - XYZ.sqfs
      Before compressing, there are following directories;
      AAA BBB CCC DDD etc.

      After adding some files to AAA and CCC respectively, say, the new directories becomes
      AAA1 CCC1

      Then what will be the command line?

      TIA

      BR
