Highlights from the main #erofs (used by #composefs) merge for #Linux 6.17[1]:

""We now support metadata compression. It can be useful for embedded use cases or archiving a large number of small files.

Additionally, readdir performance has been improved by enabling readahead (note that it was already common practice for ext3/4 non-dx and f2fs directories). We may consider further improvements later toalign with ext4's s_inode_readahead_blks behavior for slow devices too.""

Highlights from the main #erofs merge for #Linux 6.16 (https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/79b98edf918e8146047e08817e2a42937428be02):

* a `fsoffset` mount option is introduced for file-backed mounts to specify the filesystem offset in order to adapt customized container formats.

* Intel QAT hardware accelerators are supported to improve DEFLATE decompression performance.

I recently contributed a patch to erofs-utils which has now been released with v1.8.3. It introduces a --hard-dereference option that converts hardlinks to separate inodes, similar to the equally-named flag in tar. It can be used to ensure reproducible image builds on systems where similar files from the root FS might be hard-linked against each other for optimization reasons -- like in the Nix store.

Ok,

I thought #nixos and #rust fanboys were annoying.

I'm sorry.

I've met an #erofs fanboy.

I'm so glad to see work being to make the Linux kernel more usable with page sizes other than 4k!
