I am looking for a way to mount a ZIP archive as a filesystem so that I can transparently access files within the archive. I only need read access -- the ZIP will not be modified. RAM consumption is important since this is for a (resource constrained) embedded system. What are the available options?
Mount zip file as a read-only filesystem

fuse-zip is an option and claims to be faster than the competition.# fuse-zip -r archivetest.zip /mntarchivemount is another:# archivemount -o readonly archivetest.zip  /mntBoth will probably need to open the whole archive, therefore won't be particularly quick.  Have you considered extracting the ZIP to a HDD or USB-stick beforehand and simply mounting that read-only?
