64 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
65 .PP
66 \fBcreate_compressed_fs\fP compresses a filesystem image
67 to a compressed image suitable for mounting with the cloop driver. blocksize
68 must be a multiple of 512  bytes. Make sure you have enough swap to hold the
69 entire compressed image in virtual memory! Use "-" as filename to read data
70 from stdin, as in: 
71 .PP
72 mkisofs -r datadir | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > datadir.iso.compressed
73  
74 .SH "MOUNTING"
75 .PP
76 You have to pass the options to the cloop module on loading:
77 .PP
78 insmod cloop.o file=/path/to/compressed/image
79 .PP
80 mount -o ro -t whatever /dev/cloop /mnt/compressed
