140For large cluster sizes (16K and higher), typical compression ratios 141are only 1-2% less than those achieved with 142.Xr gzip 1 . 143However, it should be kept in mind that larger cluster 144sizes lead to higher overhead in the 145.Xr geom_uzip 4 146class, as the class has to decompress the whole cluster even if 147only a few bytes from that cluster have to be read. 148.Pp 149The 150.Nm 151utility 152inserts a short shell script at the beginning of the generated image, 153which makes it possible to 154.Dq run 155the image just like any other shell script. 156The script tries to load the 157.Xr geom_uzip 4 158class if it is not loaded, configure the image as an 159.Xr md 4 160disk device using 161.Xr mdconfig 8 , 162and automatically mount it using 163.Xr mount_cd9660 8 164on the mount point provided as the first argument to the script. 165.Pp 166The de-duplication is a 167.Fx 168specific feature and while it does not require any changes to on-disk 169compressed image format, however it did require some matching changes to the 170.Xr geom_uzip 4 171to handle resulting images correctly. 172.Sh EXIT STATUS 173.Ex -std 174.Sh SEE ALSO 175.Xr gzip 1 , 176.Xr xz 1 , 177.Xr lzma 3 , 178.Xr zlib 3 , 179.Xr geom 4 , 180.Xr geom_uzip 4 , 181.Xr md 4 , 182.Xr mdconfig 8 , 183.Xr mount_cd9660 8 184.Sh AUTHORS 185.An Maxim Sobolev Aq Mt sobomax@FreeBSD.org 186
