18 UBIFS is a file system for flash devices which works on top of UBI.
22 config UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
23 bool "Advanced compression options"
25 This option allows to explicitly choose which compressions, if any,
26 are enabled in UBIFS. Removing compressors means inability to read
27 existing file systems.
32 bool "LZO compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
35 LZO compressor is generally faster than zlib but compresses worse.
39 bool "ZLIB compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
42 Zlib compresses better than LZO but it is slower. Say 'Y' if unsure.
45 bool "ZSTD compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
49 ZSTD compresses is a big win in speed over Zlib and
50 in compression ratio over LZO. Say 'Y' if unsure.
52 config UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT
53 bool "Access time support"
56 Originally UBIFS did not support atime, because it looked like a bad idea due
57 increased flash wear. This option adds atime support and it is disabled by default
58 to preserve the old behavior. If you enable this option, UBIFS starts updating atime,
59 which means that file-system read operations will cause writes (inode atime
60 updates). This may affect file-system performance and increase flash device wear,
61 so be careful. How often atime is updated depends on the selected strategy:
62 strictatime is the "heavy", relatime is "lighter", etc.
67 bool "UBIFS XATTR support"
70 Saying Y here includes support for extended attributes (xattrs).
71 Xattrs are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
72 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page).
76 config UBIFS_FS_SECURITY
77 bool "UBIFS Security Labels"
78 depends on UBIFS_FS_XATTR
81 Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
82 Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
83 Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
84 security labels in the ubifs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
85 the extended attribute support in advance.
87 If you are not using a security module, say N.
89 config UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION
90 bool "UBIFS authentication support"
93 select SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION
95 Enable authentication support for UBIFS. This feature offers protection
96 against offline changes for both data and metadata of the filesystem.
97 If you say yes here you should also select a hashing algorithm such as
98 sha256, these are not selected automatically since there are many
