DwarFS is a compressed read-only filesystem, developed by Marcus Holland-Moritz. Compared to Squashfs, DwarFS also offers a choice of hashing algorithms,[2] as well as a tool for checking DwarFS image via dwarfsck. At maximum compression levels using LZMA, DwarFS (using --compression=lzma:level=9:extreme) can produce smaller file size compared to SquashFS with the rough equivalent of using XZ as -comp xz
