SquashFS

Okay kiddo, squashfs is like a really cool way of storing lots of computer files without taking up too much space. It's kind of like a special magic box that can hold all your toys, books, and games, but somehow still fit inside your tiny backpack!

Now, let's say you have a ton of files (like pictures, videos, and games) that you want to put on a CD or a USB stick. If you just copied all the files onto the CD or USB stick, it would take up a lot of space and you might not have enough room for everything.

That's where squashfs comes in! It's like a way to squish down all the files into a small package, kind of like when you squish your clothes into your backpack to make room for more toys.

But squashfs is even cooler than that, because it can also make sure that all the files stay safe and don't get messed up. It's like a really strong and protective suitcase for your files!

So when you want to use the files, like play a game or look at a picture, squashfs can quickly and easily unpack them so that they're ready for you to use. It's like opening up your backpack and taking out your toys - they're all there, safe and sound!

So that's what squashfs is, a cool way to store lots of files in a small space and keep them safe at the same time!
