    Maybe, but IMHO there is not much public interest in that kernel module except for very specialized Live Linux distros, i.e. I cannot remember
    anyone reporting this wish.

    @Klaus: do we actually need cloop nowadays? It is an isolated project,
    and there is at least one alternative called squashfs, which is
    apparently well maintained and supports modern compression (Zstandard).

    I just checked Knoppix 9.1, which is the latest public release dated
    January 2021, and it uses cloop.

    I think all the other live distros have switched to squashfs however
    :)

    Best,
    Chris
