ISO 9660 file system that adds transparent compression support. The file system is supported by versions 2.4.14 and later of theLinux kernel . New images are created using the zisofs-tools package. The tools can be used to access compressed files using earlier kernels.Non-compressed files on a zisofs file system are still accessible by legacy systems.
