iso-snapshot fails to start after zstd is selected

[Member Qwerty]

antiX 19, iso-snapshot-antix 0.4.10.1
After compression method is set to zstd, there don’t seem to be any immediate issues, but after iso-snapshot is closed, it fails to start again, no error message is shown. Output in the terminal:

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
iso-snapshot version: 0.4.10.1
+++ QString Settings::getFilename() +++
uname -r
grep ^CONFIG_SQUASHFS_ZSTD=y /boot/config-4.9.0-326-antix.1-amd64-smp

After the compression method is changed to another value manually in /etc/iso-snapshot.conf, it works normally again.
(And I think zstd shouldn’t have been in the list in the first place if it’s not in this kernel?)

zstd is not supported for snapshot.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

the 4.9 kernel does not have zstd support. I thought there was a check but maybe not…

checking with antiX-22 running the 4.9 kernel, if zstd is selected you should see this message:

Good, the check is important before a long iso-snapshot.
