Squashfs文件解压缩及”xz compression”报错问题解决

1、普通squashfs文件解压缩及查看

  (1) 可使用unsuqashfs命令直接解压缩。

   [root@localhost squashfs]# unsquashfs squashfs.img

 (2)也可mount到临时目录

  [root@localhost squashfs]# mount -o loop squashfs.img -t squashfs temp/

2、XZ算法压缩后的squashfs.img解压缩与查看

  下载Fedora 15 Live CD后，尝试解压缩ISO中的squashfs.img文件，发现无法mount，也无法通过unsquashfs命令解压缩。提示“Filesystem uses xz compression, this is unsupported by this version”。但下载到的最新squashfs 4.2版本，提示XZ压缩算法的。

[root@localhost ~]# mount -o loop /boot/Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso /mnt/

[root@localhost ~]# ls /mnt/

[root@localhost ~]# cd /mnt/LiveOS/

[root@localhost LiveOS]# ls

[root@localhost squashfs]# file squashfs.img

[root@localhost squashfs]# mount -o loop squashfs.img -t squashfs temp/

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,

missing codepage or helper program, or other error

In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try

dmesg | tail  or so

[root@localhost squashfs]#

[root@localhost squashfs]# unsquashfs squashfs.img

Filesystem uses xz compression, this is unsupported by this version

Decompressors available:

gzip

下载最新的squashfs工具，发现Makefile有个选项，“#XZ_SUPPORT = 1”，选择打开XZ_SUPPORT=1，保存退出。重新编译后，就可以解压缩使用XZ算法压缩的squashfs.img文件了。
