Hi Gao,
  Thanks for the info. After I enabled the said configuration, I am now
able to read the files after mount. But I am seeing Squashfs has better
compression ratio compared to Erofs (more than 60% than that of Erofs). Am
I missing something? I used lz4hc while making the Erofs image.

ls -l enwik*
-rw-r--r-- 1 saumya users  61280256 Jan 21 03:22 enwik8.erofs.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 saumya users  37355520 Jan 21 03:34 enwik8.sqsh
-rw-r--r-- 1 saumya users 558133248 Jan 21 03:25 enwik9.erofs.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 saumya users 331481088 Jan 21 03:35 enwik9.sqsh
