"DwarFS compression is an order of magnitude better than SquashFS compression, it's 6 times faster to build the file system, it's typically faster to access files on DwarFS and it uses less CPU resources."
- jbotz 4y agoDwarFS may be good, but it's not in the Linux kernel (depends on FUSE). That makes it less universal, potentially significantly slower for some uses cases, and also less thoroughly tested. SquashFS is used by a lot of embedded Linux distros among other use cases, so we can have pretty high confidence in its correctness.
- metadat 4y agoThank you coldblues, I'd not heard of dwarfs! Went ahead and submitted, I think it deserves its own discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32216275 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32216275
