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

if UBIFS_FS

config UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
	bool "Advanced compression options"
	help
	  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'.

config UBIFS_FS_LZO
	bool "LZO compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
	default y
	help
	   LZO compressor is generally faster than zlib but compresses worse.
	   Say 'Y' if unsure.

config UBIFS_FS_ZLIB
	bool "ZLIB compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
	default y
	help
	  Zlib compresses better than LZO but it is slower. Say 'Y' if unsure.

config UBIFS_FS_ZSTD
	bool "ZSTD compression support" if UBIFS_FS_ADVANCED_COMPR
	depends on UBIFS_FS
	default y
	help
	  ZSTD compresses is a big win in speed over Zlib and
	  in compression ratio over LZO. Say 'Y' if unsure.

config UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT
	bool "Access time support"
	default n
	help
	  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'

config UBIFS_FS_XATTR
	bool "UBIFS XATTR support"
	default y
	help
	  Saying Y here includes support for extended attributes (xattrs).
