Either use a chroot local hook, or list these files to a SquashFS exclude config file passed to mksquashfs via the -ef in $MKSQUASHFS_OPTIONS. > Also, I would like to run mksquashfs with additional parameters > -b 1048576 -comp xz > as that seems to shrink the image even further, thus reducing transfer > times (even though RAM usage will probably be the same). > Where would I specify that? Use the MKSQUASHFS_OPTIONS environment variable. FWIW, in Tails we determined experimentaly that these settings were the most efficient in our case: -comp xz -Xbcj x86 -b 1024K -Xdict-size 1024K
