I took Philip Lougher's advice to heart. I downloaded mksquashfs 4.1 source from Sourceforge, compiled it, and my hanging problem has not occurred since.
I therefore urge that the squashfs-tools package in Ubuntu be upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1. When that happens, this bug will be history. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722168 Title: mksquashfs hangs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
