Re: debiandog's quickremaster for mx-linux
@bled - which version of debian dog are you using? stretch 64 bit? Do you have a frugal install or a 'normal' install to a hard disk?

Just did a snapshot with MX Snapshot using lz4 compression. The result was a 3.1 GB snapshot and it took about 90 seconds. I verified in the log it was lz4 compressed.

Re: debiandog's quickremaster for mx-linux
It also creates md5 and sha256 sum files, one for linuxfs too so maybe about 10-15 seconds are probably spent for that. Unless you run this on a 20 year-old PC it won't take 10 minutes and in any case it won't create a 1.3GB file.

I audited it last year and AFAIK it hasn't been updated since then.

ouch, it unconditionally discards the entire contents of usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc/, usr/share/gtk-doc/, usr/share/gnome/help/, usr/share/info/

Every 1 or 2 months, OP will post something about lz4 or a puppy-based distro, or both.
He first went on a posting spree about lz4 compression around the time MX17.1 was released in March 2018.
Now, just before MX18 is released it happens again? Hmm.

Re: debiandog's quickremaster for mx-linux
credit where credit is due, eh?
IIRC, it was bled who "enlightened" us to the availability + benefit of lz4 mksquashfs option.
Don't trust memory, use the forum search (query: lz4, show:topics). Yep, earliest mention of lz4 in the forum was a topic started by @bled

Re: debiandog's quickremaster for mx-linux
The initial credit, sure.
But the regular lz4 and puppy posts thereafter are so strange. Especially if you say that debiandog hasn't been updated for some time.

Re: debiandog's quickremaster for mx-linux
Question?
Is there a way to create a snapshot with lz4,
and then increase the compression of the iso
with a pass of another algorithm
without losing the ability to install?
That might use fewer resources
at a lower temperature.
Just a thought.

Re: debiandog's quickremaster for mx-linux
That's correct. I didn't know at that time that lz4 was so fast (but obviously not that good at compression), don't think we needed to change anything to make it work in mx-snapshot there's a compression option in mx-snapshot.confskidoo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 3:20 am credit where credit is due, eh?

I don't know, but won't you lose the speed light CPU utilization benefit (also compressing already compressed file is usually less efficient than compressing a flat file)Is there a way to create a snapshot with lz4,
