EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) is a lightweight read-only file system initially developed by Huawei, originally for the Linux kernel and now maintained by an open-source community.

EROFS aims to form a generic read-only file system solution for various read-only use cases (embedded devices, containers and more) instead of just focusing on storage space saving without considering any side effects of runtime performance.
