2 tristate "Compressed ROM file system support (cramfs) (OBSOLETE)"
6 Saying Y here includes support for CramFs (Compressed ROM File
7 System). CramFs is designed to be a simple, small, and compressed
8 file system for ROM based embedded systems. CramFs is read-only,
9 limited to 256MB file systems (with 16MB files), and doesn't support
10 16/32 bits uid/gid, hard links and timestamps.
12 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/cramfs.txt> and
13 <file:fs/cramfs/README> for further information.
15 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
16 cramfs. Note that the root file system (the one containing the
17 directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.
19 This filesystem is obsoleted by SquashFS, which is much better
20 in terms of performance and features.
