Description Rodrigo Osorio freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-23 14:55:11 UTC 
Since 4.4 update I can't unsquash my files anymore.
Every attempt stops with the following error :

unsquashfs rootfs.squashfs
Xattrs in filesystem! These are not supported on this version of Squashfs
File system corruption detected
FATAL ERROR:failed to read file system tables

Reinstalling squashfs 4.3_1 solves the issue.

I'm not sure but it seems that we still using SF repo, when development for
squashfs has moved to GH. 4.4 release was done around 2019/2020, and apparently
no official release is planned. Maybe taking the head of the main branch will
fix the issue.

I gonna take some time to investigate, this tool is required for my day to day job

Regards,

Indeed, both 4.4 and recently released 4.5 refuse to work with filesystems which contain files with extended attributes.  I've filed the issue with upstream, hopefully we'd be able to resolve this quickly.
