gcloop was an interesting project started to solve the shortcomings |
| 14 |
present in the original cloop, but looks like nobody got quite |
| 15 |
interested after squashfs started working. The main problem with gcloop |
| 16 |
is the fact it requires in kernel decompressors. If someone is still |
| 17 |
interested in the concept probably could be possible use something in |
| 18 |
between fuse and dm but I don't have the time now. |
