EROFS is a file system created by Huawei offers and offers significant advantages over existing file systems such as compression and speed. Huawei developed EROFS for inclusion in the Linux kernel, and it has been used on millions of Huawei and non-Huawei devices.
Now, Google There are plans to make it the default filesystem for read-only partitions, like those used by the kernel. Android system. Since the system partition is usually read-only, compression is essential to save space on files. However, most compression systems have significant performance issues. This is a limitation that EROFS can specifically address.
The change will only affect devices starting with Android 13 by default, and only those with embedded Google services. This means that devices developed against the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) will not use EROFS.
The implementation of Huawei’s EROFS into Android 13 is an interesting move by Google in the context that the company is blocking Huawei from using services created by it because of US sanctions against Huawei. It is known that in May 2019, former US President Donald Trump put Huawei on a blacklist of the US Department of Commerce. An executive order issued by Mr Trump barred Huawei from using US technologies. With this ban, US suppliers who want to work with Huawei must apply for a license.
Since coming to power, Mr. Joe Biden has refused to lift sanctions imposed by his predecessor, despite the voices of Huawei and its partners. However, it seems that the sanctions are being applied to a lighter degree than in the time of Mr. Trump.
