config ADK_KPACKAGE_KMOD_AUFS_FS prompt "Aufs (Advanced multi layered unification filesystem) support" tristate help Aufs is a stackable unification filesystem such as Unionfs, which unifies several directories and provides a merged single directory. In the early days, aufs was entirely re-designed and re-implemented Unionfs Version 1.x series. Introducing many original ideas, approaches and improvements, it becomes totally different from Unionfs while keeping the basic features. if ADK_KPACKAGE_KMOD_AUFS_FS choice boolean "Maximum number of branches" default ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127 help Specifies the maximum number of branches (or member directories) in a single aufs. The larger value consumes more system resources and has a minor impact to performance. config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127 bool "127" config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_511 bool "511" config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 bool "1023" config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_32767 bool "32767" endchoice config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_HINOTIFY bool "Use inotify to detect actions on a branch" select ADK_KERNEL_INOTIFY help If you want to modify files on branches directly, eg. bypassing aufs, and want aufs to detect the changes of them fully, then enable this option and use 'udba=inotify' mount option. It will have a negative impact to the performance. See detail in aufs.5. config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_EXPORT bool "NFS-exportable aufs" help If you want to export your mounted aufs via NFS, then enable this option. There are several requirements for this configuration. See detail in aufs.5. config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_SHWH bool "Show whiteouts" help If you want to make the whiteouts in aufs visible, then enable this option and specify 'shwh' mount option. Although it may sounds like philosophy or something, but in technically it simply shows the name of whiteout with keeping its behaviour. config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_BR_RAMFS bool "Ramfs (initramfs/rootfs) as an aufs branch" help If you want to use ramfs as an aufs branch fs, then enable this Generally tmpfs is recommended. hibited them to be a branch fs by default, because s becomes unusable after switch_root or something y. If you sets initramfs as an aufs branch and boot your y switch_root, you will meet a problem easily since the initramfs may be inaccessible. ou are going to use ramfs as an aufs branch fs without oot or something, leave it N. config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_BR_FUSE bool "Fuse fs as an aufs branch" select ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_POLL select ADK_KPACKAGE_KMOD_FUSE_FS help If you want to use fuse-based userspace filesystem as an aufs branch fs, then enable this option. It implements the internal poll(2) operation which is implemented by fuse only (curretnly). config ADK_KERNEL_AUFS_DEBUG bool "Debug aufs" help Enable this to compile aufs internal debug code. It will have a negative impact to the performance. endif
