13	  UBIFS is a file system for flash devices which works on top of UBI.

17config UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
18	bool "Advanced compression options"
19	help
20	  This option allows to explicitly choose which compressions, if any,
21	  are enabled in UBIFS. Removing compressors means inability to read
22	  existing file systems.
23
24	  If unsure, say 'N'.
25
26config UBIFS_FS_LZO
27	bool "LZO compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
28	default y
29	help
30	   LZO compressor is generally faster than zlib but compresses worse.
31	   Say 'Y' if unsure.
32
33config UBIFS_FS_ZLIB
34	bool "ZLIB compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
35	default y
36	help
37	  Zlib compresses better than LZO but it is slower. Say 'Y' if unsure.
38
39config UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT
40	bool "Access time support"
41	default n
42	help
43	  Originally UBIFS did not support atime, because it looked like a bad idea due
44	  increased flash wear. This option adds atime support and it is disabled by default
45	  to preserve the old behavior. If you enable this option, UBIFS starts updating atime,
46	  which means that file-system read operations will cause writes (inode atime
47	  updates). This may affect file-system performance and increase flash device wear,
48	  so be careful. How often atime is updated depends on the selected strategy:
49	  strictatime is the "heavy", relatime is "lighter", etc.
50
51	  If unsure, say 'N'
52
53config UBIFS_FS_XATTR
54	bool "UBIFS XATTR support"
55	default y
56	help
57	  Saying Y here includes support for extended attributes (xattrs).
58	  Xattrs are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
59	  the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page).
60
61	  If unsure, say Y.
62
63config UBIFS_FS_ENCRYPTION
64	bool "UBIFS Encryption"
65	depends on UBIFS_FS_XATTR && BLOCK
66	select FS_ENCRYPTION
67	default n
68	help
69	  Enable encryption of UBIFS files and directories. This
70	  feature is similar to ecryptfs, but it is more memory
71	  efficient since it avoids caching the encrypted and
72	  decrypted pages in the page cache.
73
74config UBIFS_FS_SECURITY
75	bool "UBIFS Security Labels"
76	depends on UBIFS_FS_XATTR
77	default y
78	help
79	  Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
80	  Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
81	  Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
82	  security labels in the ubifs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
83	  the extended attribute support in advance.
84
85	  If you are not using a security module, say N.
86
87config UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION
88	bool "UBIFS authentication support"
89	depends on KEYS
90	select CRYPTO_HMAC
91	help
92	  Enable authentication support for UBIFS. This feature offers protection
93	  against offline changes for both data and metadata of the filesystem.
94	  If you say yes here you should also select a hashing algorithm such as
95	  sha256, these are not selected automatically since there are many
96	  different options.
