Filesystem Configuration
========================
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_ENABLE_MKFIFO`
* :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_IMFS_MEMFILE_BYTES_PER_BLOCK
--------------------------------------
CONSTANT:
``CONFIGURE_IMFS_MEMFILE_BYTES_PER_BLOCK``
DATA TYPE:
Boolean feature macro.
RANGE:
Valid values for this configuration parameter are a power of two (2)
between 16 and 512 inclusive. In other words, valid values are 16, 32, 64,
128, 256,and 512.
DEFAULT VALUE:
The default IMFS block size is 128 bytes.
DESCRIPTION:
This configuration parameter specifies the block size for in-memory files
managed by the IMFS. 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.
.. index:: CONFIGURE_USE_DEVFS_AS_BASE_FILESYSTEM
.. _CONFIGURE_USE_DEVFS_AS_BASE_FILESYSTEM:
CONFIGURE_USE_DEVFS_AS_BASE_FILESYSTEM
--------------------------------------
CONSTANT:
``CONFIGURE_USE_DEVFS_AS_BASE_FILESYSTEM``
DATA TYPE:
Boolean feature macro.
RANGE:
Defined or undefined.
DEFAULT VALUE:
This is not defined by default. If no other root file system configuration
parameters are specified, the IMFS will be used as the root file system.
DESCRIPTION:
This configuration parameter is defined if the application wishes to use
the device-only filesytem as the root file system.
NOTES:
The device-only filesystem supports only device nodes and is smaller in
executable code size than the full IMFS and miniIMFS.
The devFS is comparable in functionality to the pseudo-filesystem name
space provided before RTEMS release 4.5.0.

DATA TYPE:

configuration options will be defined as well

- ``CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_CHOWN``,
- ``CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_UTIME``,
