Filesystem Configuration
========================

This section describes configuration options related to filesytems.
By default, the In-Memory Filesystem (IMFS) is used as the base filesystem (also
known as root filesystem).  In order to save some memory for your application,
you can disable the filesystem support with the
:ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_DISABLE_FILESYSTEM` configuration option.
Alternatively, you can strip down the features of the base filesystem with the
:ref:`CONFIGURE_USE_MINIIMFS_AS_BASE_FILESYSTEM` and
:ref:`CONFIGURE_USE_DEVFS_AS_BASE_FILESYSTEM` configuration options.  These
three configuration options are mutually exclusive.  They are intended for an
advanced application configuration.

Features of the IMFS can be disabled and enabled with the following
configuration options:

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_CHMOD`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_CHOWN`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_LINK`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_MKNOD`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_MKNOD_FILE`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_MOUNT`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_READDIR`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_READLINK`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_RENAME`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_RMNOD`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_SYMLINK`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_UNMOUNT`

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_UTIME`

``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_DISABLE_FILESYSTEM``

.. rubric:: OPTION TYPE:

This configuration option is a boolean feature define.

.. rubric:: DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:

If this configuration option is undefined, then a base filesystem and the
configured filesystems are initialized during system initialization.

.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:

In case this configuration option is defined, then **no base filesystem** is
initialized during system initialization and **no filesystems** are
configured.

.. rubric:: NOTES:

Filesystems shall be initialized to support file descriptor based device
drivers and basic input/output functions such as :c:func:`printf`.
Filesystems can be disabled to reduce the memory footprint of an application.

.. rubric:: CONSTANT:

``CONFIGURE_IMFS_MEMFILE_BYTES_PER_BLOCK``

.. rubric:: OPTION TYPE:

This configuration option is an integer define.

.. rubric:: DEFAULT VALUE:

The default value is 128.

.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:

The value of this configuration option defines the block size for in-memory
files managed by the IMFS.

.. rubric:: NOTES:

The configured block size has two impacts. The first is the average amount of
unused memory in the last block of each file.  For example, when the block
size is 512, on average one-half of the last block of each file will remain
unused and the memory is wasted. In contrast, when the block size is 16, the
average unused memory per file is only 8 bytes. However, it requires more
allocations for the same size file and thus more overhead per block for the
dynamic memory management.

Second, the block size has an impact on the maximum size file that can be
stored in the IMFS. With smaller block size, the maximum file size is
correspondingly smaller. The following shows the maximum file size possible
based on the configured block size:

* when the block size is 16 bytes, the maximum file size is 1,328 bytes.

* when the block size is 32 bytes, the maximum file size is 18,656 bytes.

* when the block size is 64 bytes, the maximum file size is 279,488 bytes.

* when the block size is 128 bytes, the maximum file size is 4,329,344 bytes.

* when the block size is 256 bytes, the maximum file size is 68,173,568 bytes.

* when the block size is 512 bytes, the maximum file size is 1,082,195,456
  bytes.

* :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_CHMOD`,

up of absolute paths.
