13 UBIFS is a file system for flash devices which works on top of UBI.
15 config UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
16 bool "Advanced compression options"
19 This option allows to explicitly choose which compressions, if any,
20 are enabled in UBIFS. Removing compressors means inability to read
21 existing file systems.
26 bool "LZO compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
30 LZO compressor is generally faster than zlib but compresses worse.
34 bool "ZLIB compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
38 Zlib compresses better than LZO but it is slower. Say 'Y' if unsure.
40 config UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT
41 bool "Access time support" if UBIFS_FS
45 Originally UBIFS did not support atime, because it looked like a bad idea due
46 increased flash wear. This option adds atime support and it is disabled by default
47 to preserve the old behavior. If you enable this option, UBIFS starts updating atime,
48 which means that file-system read operations will cause writes (inode atime
49 updates). This may affect file-system performance and increase flash device wear,
50 so be careful. How often atime is updated depends on the selected strategy:
51 strictatime is the "heavy", relatime is "lighter", etc.
56 bool "UBIFS XATTR support"
60 Saying Y here includes support for extended attributes (xattrs).
61 Xattrs are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
62 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page).
66 config UBIFS_FS_ENCRYPTION
67 bool "UBIFS Encryption"
68 depends on UBIFS_FS && UBIFS_FS_XATTR && BLOCK
72 Enable encryption of UBIFS files and directories. This
73 feature is similar to ecryptfs, but it is more memory
74 efficient since it avoids caching the encrypted and
75 decrypted pages in the page cache.
77 config UBIFS_FS_SECURITY
78 bool "UBIFS Security Labels"
79 depends on UBIFS_FS && UBIFS_FS_XATTR
82 Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
83 Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
84 Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
85 security labels in the ubifs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
86 the extended attribute support in advance.
88 If you are not using a security module, say N.
90 config UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION
91 bool "UBIFS authentication support"
94 Enable authentication support for UBIFS. This feature offers protection
95 against offline changes for both data and metadata of the filesystem.
96 If you say yes here you should also select a hashing algorithm such as
97 sha256, these are not selected automatically since there are many
