Zstd Compression For EROFS Published: Better Than LZ4 But Higher CPU Costs


As noted recently, EROFS has been exploring Zstd compression support for this open-source read-only Linux file-system

As noted recently, EROFS has been exploring Zstd compression support for this open-source read-only Linux file-system. Gao Xiang with Alibaba has published the 331 lines of code for enabling Zstd compression with EROFS. For now this Zstd compression support for EROFS is considered experimental and could also be further enhanced in the future by implementing one-shot or buffer-less decompression capabilities.
