5 depends on MTD
6 help
7 JFFS2 is the second generation of the Journalling Flash File System
8 for use on diskless embedded devices. It provides improved wear
9 levelling, compression and support for hard links. You cannot use
10 this on normal block devices, only on 'MTD' devices.
11
12 Further information on the design and implementation of JFFS2 is
13 available at <http://sources.redhat.com/jffs2/>.

15 config JFFS2_FS_DEBUG
16 int "JFFS2 debugging verbosity (0 = quiet, 2 = noisy)"
17 depends on JFFS2_FS
18 default "0"
19 help
20 This controls the amount of debugging messages produced by the JFFS2
21 code. Set it to zero for use in production systems. For evaluation,
22 testing and debugging, it's advisable to set it to one. This will
23 enable a few assertions and will print debugging messages at the
24 KERN_DEBUG loglevel, where they won't normally be visible. Level 2
25 is unlikely to be useful - it enables extra debugging in certain
26 areas which at one point needed debugging, but when the bugs were
27 located and fixed, the detailed messages were relegated to level 2.
28
29 If reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of the
30 messages at debug level 1 while the misbehaviour was occurring.

32 config JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER
33 bool "JFFS2 write-buffering support"
34 depends on JFFS2_FS
35 default y
36 help
37 This enables the write-buffering support in JFFS2.
38
39 This functionality is required to support JFFS2 on the following
40 types of flash devices:
41 - NAND flash
42 - NOR flash with transparent ECC
43 - DataFlash
44
45 config JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY
46 bool "Verify JFFS2 write-buffer reads"
47 depends on JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER
48 default n
49 help
50 This causes JFFS2 to read back every page written through the
51 write-buffer, and check for errors.
52
53 config JFFS2_SUMMARY
54 bool "JFFS2 summary support"
55 depends on JFFS2_FS
56 default n
57 help
58 This feature makes it possible to use summary information
59 for faster filesystem mount.
60
61 The summary information can be inserted into a filesystem image
62 by the utility 'sumtool'.
63
64 If unsure, say 'N'.
65
66 config JFFS2_FS_XATTR
67 bool "JFFS2 XATTR support"
68 depends on JFFS2_FS
69 default n
70 help
71 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
72 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).
73
74 If unsure, say N.
75
76 config JFFS2_FS_POSIX_ACL
77 bool "JFFS2 POSIX Access Control Lists"
78 depends on JFFS2_FS_XATTR
79 default y
80 select FS_POSIX_ACL
81 help
82 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
83 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
84
85 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
86
87 config JFFS2_FS_SECURITY
88 bool "JFFS2 Security Labels"
89 depends on JFFS2_FS_XATTR
90 default y
91 help
92 Security labels support alternative access control models
93 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
94 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
95 labels in the jffs2 filesystem.
96
97 If you are not using a security module that requires using
98 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.

100 config JFFS2_COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
101 bool "Advanced compression options for JFFS2"
102 depends on JFFS2_FS
103 default n
104 help
105 Enabling this option allows you to explicitly choose which
106 compression modules, if any, are enabled in JFFS2. Removing
107 compressors can mean you cannot read existing file systems,
108 and enabling experimental compressors can mean that you
109 write a file system which cannot be read by a standard kernel.
110
111 If unsure, you should _definitely_ say 'N'.

119 help
120 Zlib is designed to be a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered,
121 lossless data-compression library for use on virtually any computer
122 hardware and operating system. See <http://www.gzip.org/zlib/> for
123 further information.
124
125 Say 'Y' if unsure.

132 default n
133 help
134 minilzo-based compression. Generally works better than Zlib.
135
136 This feature was added in July, 2007. Say 'N' if you need
137 compatibility with older bootloaders or kernels.

144 Rtime does manage to recompress already-compressed data. Say 'Y' if unsure.

158 You can set here the default compression mode of JFFS2 from
159 the available compression modes. Don't touch if unsure.

180 help
181 Tries all compressors and chooses the one which has the smallest
182 result but gives some preference to LZO (which has faster
183 decompression) at the expense of size.
