My name is wang shuo, and I am reaching out to seek your expertise regarding decompressing an EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) image without the need for mounting. I have come across a unique situation where I do not have permission to create a loop device for mounting the image, and I am exploring alternative methods to access its content.

Therefore, I am reaching out to you to inquire if there are alternative methods or tools available that would allow me to decompress the EROFS image directly without the necessity of mounting it.
