While looking = at it, it seems that it performs a multistep process to modify the squashfs= image, which kind of goes against the design of the utility. A SO page ( = https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/459372 ) suggested the full hierarchy be c= reated and then added in a single invocation. Does anyone have any opinion= s on such a change or useful insights? --- The information in this email, including attachments, may be confidential a= nd is intended solely for the addressee(s).
