33 .Nd "GEOM based compressed disk images"
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following line in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
39 .Cd "options GEOM_UZIP"
42 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43 module at boot time, place the following line in
45 .Bd -literal -offset indent
51 framework provides support for compressed read only
53 This allows significant storage savings at the expense of
54 a little CPU time on each read.
55 Data written in the GEOM label area allows
57 to detect compressed images which have been created with
59 and presented to the kernel as a logical disk device via
64 device for each image.
68 device is subsequently used by the
70 kernel to access the disk images.
73 driver does not allow write operations to the underlying disk image.
