Generated from spec:/acfg/if/group-filesystem 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` * :ref:`CONFIGURE_IMFS_ENABLE_MKFIFO` ..

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION: If this configuration option is undefined, then a base filesystem and the configured filesystems are initialized during system initialization. DESCRIPTION: In case this configuration option is defined, then **no base filesystem** is initialized during system initialization and **no filesystems** are configured. 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. ..

DEFAULT VALUE: The default value is 128. VALUE CONSTRAINTS: The value of this configuration option shall be an element of {16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512}. DESCRIPTION: The value of this configuration option defines the block size for in-memory files managed by the IMFS. 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. ..

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION: If this configuration option is undefined, then the described feature is not enabled. DESCRIPTION: In case this configuration option is defined, then an IMFS with a reduced feature set will be the base filesystem (also known as root filesystem).

In addition, a simplified path evaluation is enabled. It allows only a look up of absolute paths. This configuration of the IMFS is basically a device-only filesystem. It is comparable in functionality to the pseudo-filesystem name space provided before RTEMS release 4.5.0. ..
