Is this in a VM/host provided by OVH?

Yes it’s a web server provide by kimsufi ( old server from ovh )

We’ve had reports from people using VMs/hosts provided by OVH, where the kernel did not support squashfs at all. You can try running grep squashfs /proc/filesystems, if nothing comes up then squashfs isn’t supported. There still may be a kernel module which you can load. If you run modprobe squashfs and get an error that the module does not exist then you’re out of luck. You should probably then contact your hosting service and request they provide a different kernel.

I try your following instruction, and my kernel don’t have squashfs module. I send a ticket from Kimsufi Support for find a kernel with squashfs module.

Thanks you for your help :smiley:
