Zisofs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is zisofs. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
zisofs is an extension to the ISO 9660 file system that adds transparent compression support. The file system is supported by versions 2.4.14 and later of the Linux kernel. New images are created using the zisofs-tools package. The tools can be used to access compressed files using earlier kernels.
Non-compressed files on a zisofs file system are still accessible by legacy systems.
zisofs is currently maintained by H. Peter Anvin, who is also the maintainer of SYSLINUX and ISOLINUX.
