CramFs is designed to be a simple, small, and compressed + file system for ROM based embedded systems. CramFs is read-only, + limited to 256MB file systems (with 16MB files), and doesn't support + 16/32 bits uid/gid, hard links and timestamps. + + See <file:Documentation/filesystems/cramfs.rst> and + <file:fs/cramfs/README> for further information. + + To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called + cramfs. Note that the root file system (the one containing the + directory /) cannot be compiled as a module. + + This filesystem is limited in capabilities and performance on + purpose to remain small and low on RAM usage. It is most suitable + for small embedded systems. If you have ample RAM to spare, you may + consider a more capable compressed filesystem such as SquashFS + which is much better in terms of performance and features. + + If unsure, say N. + +config CRAMFS_BLOCKDEV + bool "Support CramFs image over a regular block device" if EXPERT + depends on CRAMFS && BLOCK + default y + help + This option allows the CramFs driver to load data from a regular + block device such a disk partition or a ramdisk. + +config CRAMFS_MTD + bool "Support CramFs image directly mapped in physical memory" + depends on CRAMFS && CRAMFS <= MTD + default y if !CRAMFS_BLOCKDEV + help + This option allows the CramFs driver to load data directly from + a linear adressed memory range (usually non volatile memory + like flash) instead of going through the block device layer. + This saves some memory since no intermediate buffering is + necessary. + + The location of the CramFs image is determined by a + MTD device capable of direct memory mapping e.g. from + the 'physmap' map driver or a resulting MTD partition. + For example, this would mount the cramfs image stored in + the MTD partition named "xip_fs" on the /mnt mountpoint: + + mount -t cramfs mtd:xip_fs /mnt + + If unsure, say N. |
