EROFS

• Supports zstd and multithreading
• Provides a comparable compression ratio with better performance and less memory overhead compared to squashfs
• Supports DEFLATE (Zlib) for better compression (check with zlib-ng?)
• booster does not support live environments, proposal: https://github.com/anatol/booster/issues/232#issuecomment-1737913983
• mount handles both erofs and squashfs files automatically and does not require manual usage of losetup
• Consider replacing with squashfs and zstd, if erofs-tools switches to rust
