JFFS2 driver in the 2.4 Linux kernel only -supported images having the same endianness as the CPU. As of 2.5.48, -the kernel can be changed with a #define to accept images of the -non-native endianness. Full bi-endian support in the kernel is not -planned. - -It is unlikely that JFFS2 images are useful except in conjuction -with the MTD (Memory Technology Device) drivers in the Linux -kernel, since the JFFS2 file system driver in the kernel requires -MTD devices. -.SH OPTIONS -Options that take SIZE arguments can be specified as either -decimal (e.g., 65536), octal (0200000), or hexidecimal (0x1000). -.TP -.B -p, --pad[=SIZE] -Pad output to SIZE bytes with 0xFF. If SIZE is not specified, -the output is padded to the end of the final erase block. -.TP -.B -r, -d, --root=DIR -Build file system from directory DIR. The default is the current -directory. -.TP -.B -s, --pagesize=SIZE -Use page size SIZE. The default is 4 KiB. This size is the -maximum size of a data node. Set according to target system's memory -management page size (NOTE: this is NOT related to NAND page size). -.TP -.B -e, --eraseblock=SIZE -Use erase block size SIZE. The default is 64 KiB. If you use a erase -block size different than the erase block size of the target MTD -device, JFFS2 may not perform optimally. If the SIZE specified is -below 4096, the units are assumed to be KiB. -.TP -.B -c, --cleanmarker=SIZE -Write \'CLEANMARKER\' nodes with the size specified. It is not -normally appropriate to specify a size other than the default 12 -bytes. -.TP -.B -n, --no-cleanmarkers -Do not write \'CLEANMARKER\' nodes to the beginning of each erase -block. This option can be useful for creating JFFS2 images for -use on NAND flash, and for creating images which are to be used -on a variety of hardware with differing eraseblock sizes. -.TP -.B -o, --output=FILE -Write JFFS2 image to file FILE. Default is the standard output. -.TP -.B -l, --little-endian -Create a little-endian JFFS2 image. Default is to make an image -with the same endianness as the host. -.TP -.B -b, --big-endian -Create a big-endian JFFS2 image. Default is to make an image -with the same endianness as the host. -.TP -.B -D, --devtable=FILE -Use the named FILE as a device table file, for including devices and -changing permissions in the created image when the user does not have -appropriate permissions to create them on the file system used as -source. -.TP -.B -f, --faketime -Change all file timestamps to \'0\' for regression testing. -.TP -.B -q, --squash -Squash permissions and owners, making all files be owned by root and -removing write permission for \'group\' and \'other\'. -.TP -.B -U, --squash-uids -Squash owners making all files be owned by root. -.TP -.B -P, --squash-perms -Squash permissions, removing write permission for \'group\' and \'other\'. -.TP -.B --with-xattr -Enables xattr, stuff all xattr entries into jffs2 image file. -.TP -.B --with-selinux -Enables xattr, stuff only SELinux Labels into jffs2 image file. -.TP -.B --with-posix-acl -Enable xattr, stuff only POSIX ACL entries into jffs2 image file. -.TP -.B -m, --compression-mode=MODE -Set the default compression mode. The default mode is -.B priority -which tries the compressors in a predefinied order and chooses the first -successful one. The alternatives are: -.B none -(mkfs will not compress) and -.B size -(mkfs will try all compressor and chooses the one which have the smallest result). -.TP -.B -x, --disable-compressor=NAME -Disable a compressor. Use -.B -L -to see the list of the available compressors and their default states. -.TP -.B -X, --enable-compressor=NAME -Enable a compressor. Use -.B -L -to see the list of the available compressors and their default states. -.TP -.B -y, --compressor-priority=PRIORITY:NAME -Set the priority of a compressor. Use -.B -L -to see the list of the available compressors and their default priority. -Priorities are used by priority compression mode. -.TP -.B -L, --list-compressors -Show the list of the available compressors and their states. -.TP -.B -t, --test-compression -Call decompress after every compress - and compare the result with the original data -, and -some other check. -.TP -.B -h, --help -Display help text. -.TP -.B -v, --verbose -Verbose operation. -.TP -.B -V, --version -Display version information. -.TP -.B -i, --incremental=FILE -Generate an appendage image for FILE. If FILE is written to flash and flash -is appended with the output, then it seems as if it was one thing. - -.SH LIMITATIONS -The format and grammar of the device table file does not allow it to -create symbolic links when the symbolic links are not already present -in the root working directory. - -However, symbolic links may be specified in the device table file -using the \fIl\fR type for the purposes of setting their permissions -and ownership. -.SH BUGS -JFFS2 limits device major and minor numbers to 8 bits each. Some -consider this a bug. - -.B mkfs.jffs2 -does not properly handle hard links in the input directory structure. -Currently, hard linked files will be expanded to multiple identical -files in the output image. -.SH AUTHORS -David Woodhouse -.br -Manual page written by David Schleef <ds@schleef.org> -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR mkfs (8), -.BR mkfs.jffs (1), -.BR fakeroot (1) |
