| 21 | This option allows to explicitly choose which compressions, if any, | |
| 692105b8 | 22 | are enabled in UBIFS. Removing compressors means inability to read |

| 43 | help | |
| 44 | Originally UBIFS did not support atime, because it looked like a bad idea due | |
| 45 | increased flash wear. This option adds atime support and it is disabled by default | |
| 46 | to preserve the old behavior. If you enable this option, UBIFS starts updating atime, | |
| 47 | which means that file-system read operations will cause writes (inode atime | |
| 48 | updates). This may affect file-system performance and increase flash device wear, | |
| 49 | so be careful. How often atime is updated depends on the selected strategy: | |
| 50 | strictatime is the "heavy", relatime is "lighter", etc. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | If unsure, say 'N' | |

| 58 | Saying Y here includes support for extended attributes (xattrs). | |
| 59 | Xattrs are name:value pairs associated with inodes by | |

| 69 | Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux | |
| 70 | Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO | |
| 71 | Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file | |
| 72 | security labels in the ubifs filesystem, so that it requires enabling | |
| 73 | the extended attribute support in advance. | |

| 82 | Enable authentication support for UBIFS. This feature offers protection | |
| 83 | against offline changes for both data and metadata of the filesystem. | |
| 84 | If you say yes here you should also select a hashing algorithm such as | |

| 86 | different options. | |
