The EROFS read-only file-system, widely used in embedded systems and containers, has temporarily disabled its LZ4 rolling decompression feature. This decision comes as a precautionary measure due to concerns about potential data corruption.

EROFS is known for its efficiency in read-only environments, making it popular in various applications. The LZ4 rolling decompression was a feature aimed at improving performance, but the risk of data corruption has prompted its suspension.

Developers are likely to investigate and resolve the issue to reinstate the feature safely in future updates.
