Allow to disable extended attribute support. This aids in reliability testing, especially since some xattr related bugs have surfaced. Also an embedded system might not need it, so this allows for a slightly smaller kernel (about 4KiB). Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

This option allows to explicitly choose which compressions, if any,
|
|
are enabled in UBIFS. Removing compressors means inability to read
|
|
existing file systems.

If unsure, say 'N'.

LZO compressor is generally faster than zlib but compresses worse.

Originally UBIFS did not support atime, because it looked like a bad idea due
|
|
increased flash wear. This option adds atime support and it is disabled by default
|
|
to preserve the old behavior. If you enable this option, UBIFS starts updating atime,
|
|
which means that file-system read operations will cause writes (inode atime
|
|
updates). This may affect file-system performance and increase flash device wear,
|
|
so be careful. How often atime is updated depends on the selected strategy:
|
|
strictatime is the "heavy", relatime is "lighter", etc.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say 'N'

Saying Y here includes support for extended attributes (xattrs).
|
|
Xattrs are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
|
|
the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page).
|
|
|

If unsure, say Y.

Enable encryption of UBIFS files and directories. This

feature is similar to ecryptfs, but it is more memory

efficient since it avoids caching the encrypted and

decrypted pages in the page cache.

Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
|
|
Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
|
|
Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
|
|
security labels in the ubifs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
|
|
the extended attribute support in advance.
|
|
|
|
If you are not using a security module, say N.
