Issue

Copying data out of the squashfs filesystem will occasionally get a random read error.
The location is not consistent and later attempts to read the file information can succeed without issue.

Following errors reported:

kernel: SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x23b43d58
kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache entry [23b43d58]
kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 23b43d58, size 1efb3
