Possible 2 solutions:
1) Reinstall from new image (will probably most user do)
2) Change compression to LZO (if not already done in /boot/cmdline.txt), reboot, make complete image backup (xbian-config, function Copier)
3) Reflash this image

Quote:Also i kind of remember asking why we were using LZ4 some year ago here in the forum (or because i was having some random crashes)... are you sure LZO has always been the default compression? Because my current install/image is

Yes, absolutely sure. The switch to LZ4 compression is done when newly flashed image is booted the first time without change compression from LZ4 to LZO before that first boot

Quote:pretty old (as been updated/upgraded for years up to current) and i don't remember changing the compression type, and somehow its set to LZ4....

Sure, you never did it. That's because LZ4 compression was already set to LZ4 for the first boot.

So if make a backup using the Function Copier and the restore it on a fresh install will it copy the extra packages I've installed? Or is just like copying the /home folder?

You said there is no easy way to change the compression, but is there a way? I actually prefer to have that extra work than to do a fresh install.... I hate to reconfigure my machines from scratch. :/
