9 select YAFFS_YAFFS1
10 select YAFFS_YAFFS2
11 help
12 YAFFS2, or Yet Another Flash Filing System, is a filing system
13 optimised for NAND Flash chips.
14
15 To compile the YAFFS2 file system support as a module, choose M
16 here: the module will be called yaffs2.
17
18 If unsure, say N.
19
20 Further information on YAFFS2 is available at
21 <http://www.aleph1.co.uk/yaffs/>.
22
23 config YAFFS_YAFFS1
24 bool "512 byte / page devices"
25 depends on YAFFS_FS
26 default y
27 help
28 Enable YAFFS1 support -- yaffs for 512 byte / page devices
29
30 Not needed for 2K-page devices.
31
32 If unsure, say Y.
33
34 config YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
35 bool "Use older-style on-NAND data format with pageStatus byte"
36 depends on YAFFS_YAFFS1
37 default n
38 help
39
40 Older-style on-NAND data format has a "pageStatus" byte to record
41 chunk/page state. This byte is zero when the page is discarded.
42 Choose this option if you have existing on-NAND data using this
43 format that you need to continue to support. New data written
44 also uses the older-style format. Note: Use of this option
45 generally requires that MTD's oob layout be adjusted to use the
46 older-style format. See notes on tags formats and MTD versions
47 in yaffs_mtdif1.c.
48
49 If unsure, say N.
50
51 config YAFFS_DOES_ECC
52 bool "Lets Yaffs do its own ECC"
53 depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_YAFFS1 && !YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
54 default n
55 help
56 This enables Yaffs to use its own ECC functions instead of using
57 the ones from the generic MTD-NAND driver.
58
59 If unsure, say N.
60
61 config YAFFS_ECC_WRONG_ORDER
62 bool "Use the same ecc byte order as Steven Hill's nand_ecc.c"
63 depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_DOES_ECC && !YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
64 default n
65 help
66 This makes yaffs_ecc.c use the same ecc byte order as Steven
67 Hill's nand_ecc.c. If not set, then you get the same ecc byte
68 order as SmartMedia.
69
70 If unsure, say N.
71
72 config YAFFS_YAFFS2
73 bool "2048 byte (or larger) / page devices"
74 depends on YAFFS_FS
75 default y
76 help
77 Enable YAFFS2 support -- yaffs for >= 2K bytes per page devices
78
79 If unsure, say Y.
80
81 config YAFFS_AUTO_YAFFS2
82 bool "Autoselect yaffs2 format"
83 depends on YAFFS_YAFFS2
84 default y
85 help
86 Without this, you need to explicitely use yaffs2 as the file
87 system type. With this, you can say "yaffs" and yaffs or yaffs2
88 will be used depending on the device page size (yaffs on
89 512-byte page devices, yaffs2 on 2K page devices).
90
91 If unsure, say Y.
92
93 config YAFFS_DISABLE_LAZY_LOAD
94 bool "Disable lazy loading"
95 depends on YAFFS_YAFFS2
96 default n
97 help
98 "Lazy loading" defers loading file details until they are
99 required. This saves mount time, but makes the first look-up
100 a bit longer.
101
102 Lazy loading will only happen if enabled by this option being 'n'
103 and if the appropriate tags are available, else yaffs2 will
104 automatically fall back to immediate loading and do the right
105 thing.
106
107 Lazy laoding will be required by checkpointing.
108
109 Setting this to 'y' will disable lazy loading.
110
111 If unsure, say N.
112
113
114 config YAFFS_DISABLE_WIDE_TNODES
115 bool "Turn off wide tnodes"
116 depends on YAFFS_FS
117 default n
118 help
119 Wide tnodes are only used for NAND arrays >=32MB for 512-byte
120 page devices and >=128MB for 2k page devices. They use slightly
121 more RAM but are faster since they eliminate chunk group
122 searching.
123
124 Setting this to 'y' will force tnode width to 16 bits and save
125 memory but make large arrays slower.
126
127 If unsure, say N.
128
129 config YAFFS_ALWAYS_CHECK_CHUNK_ERASED
130 bool "Force chunk erase check"
131 depends on YAFFS_FS
132 default n
133 help
134 Normally YAFFS only checks chunks before writing until an erased
135 chunk is found. This helps to detect any partially written
136 chunks that might have happened due to power loss.
137
138 Enabling this forces on the test that chunks are erased in flash
139 before writing to them. This takes more time but is potentially
140 a bit more secure.
141
142 Suggest setting Y during development and ironing out driver
143 issues etc. Suggest setting to N if you want faster writing.
144
145 If unsure, say Y.
146
147 config YAFFS_SHORT_NAMES_IN_RAM
148 bool "Cache short names in RAM"
149 depends on YAFFS_FS
150 default y
151 help
152 If this config is set, then short names are stored with the
153 yaffs_Object. This costs an extra 16 bytes of RAM per object,
154 but makes look-ups faster.
155
156 If unsure, say Y.
