1Information for amd64 users
2---------------------------

4All previous releases of Squashfs (2.0-alpha and older) generate incorrect
5filesystems on amd64 machines.  These filesystems work correctly on amd64
6machines, but cannot be mounted on non-amd64 machines.  Likewise, filesystems
7generated on non amd64 machines could not be mounted on amd64 machines.
8This bug was caused by the different size of the "time_t" definition used in
9SquashFS filesystem structures.

11This bug is now fixed in this release.  However, all amd64 filesystems
12generated by previous releases will not be mountable on amd64 machines
13with this release.  If you have pre-existing amd64 generated filesystems,
14it is important that you recreate the filesystem.  This can be performed
15by mounting the filesystem using a kernel with the original patch
16(i.e. a 2.0-alpha or older patch) and running the SquashFS 2.0
17(i.e. this release) mksquashfs tool to create a new SquashFS filesystem.
