Interesting. F7 contains squashfs-tools-3.2-1, vs 3.3-2 in F9 and the
changelog doesn't say anything too explicit about a break on storage
format.
Two things look suspicious - sparse files support and the change in
default block size.
Think you would need to include, maybe recompile, the squashfs-tools
rpm
from the f9. Then I think you'll need to recompile the kernel module and
include it in the initrd. I can't recall when this update to squashfs
occurred, but I believe it was tied to a kernel update between fedora
releases 8-9. so I'm not sure if the above will even work.
Sounds complex. I will try going in the opposite direction: downgrade
the package on F9 or pass flags to disable the new fanciness.
thanks for the hints!
