Who needs cramfs when you have squashfs? At least, we should warn people that cramfs is obsolete. Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Saying Y here includes support for CramFs (Compressed ROM File
|
|
System). 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.txt> 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 obsoleted by SquashFS, which is much better
|
|
in terms of performance and features.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
