5 Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
6 used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
7 will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
8 themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
9 to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
97894cda 10 them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
1da177e4

11 particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

20 should normally be compiled as kernel modules. The modules perform

43 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
44 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
45 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
46 devices performing that function.

EG
48 Note that mounting a JFFS2 filesystem doesn't require using mtdblock.
49 It's possible to mount a rootfs using the MTD device on the "root="
50 bootargs as "root=mtd2" or "root=mtd:name_of_device".

51
52 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
53 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
54 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
55 almost never written to.

80 This provides support for the original Flash Translation Layer which
81 is part of the PCMCIA specification. It uses a kind of pseudo-

162 Write support is only lightly tested, therefore this driver
163 isn't recommended to use with valuable data (anyway if you have
164 valuable data, do backups regardless of software/hardware you
165 use, because you never know what will eat your data...)

201 For historical reasons, by default, either a master is present or
202 several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that
203 data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does
204 this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option
205 leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes
206 the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than
207 what lies behind the master.
