For now, I will stick with squashfs given it's stability and maturity. What advantages does erofs have over squashfs? The erofs page talks about performance vs speed - has any one noticed this IRL?
Its not really surprising, given that it was developed after squash wasn't good enough, benefit of hindsight and that stuff.
Apart from embedded, it seems the next big target are container images.

I think zstd would've been the better choice, but I guess lzma gives some better bulletpoints (smallest size)

Is is snaps that use squashfs, or flatpak, or both?
Regardless, discordian is right: by the time your de/compressor outperforms an alternative on literally every metric, it's time to throw the old one away.

This is interesting file system, naked out of all needless headers, truly eroticFS

Yo dawg, I heard you liked file compressors so I made a file compressor for your file compressor so you can compress what you've compressed.

...even used for secondary compression on top of any other primary compression algorithm for this read-only file-system.
Is EROFS used anywhere outside of Android?
