+	  YAFFS2, or Yet Another Flash Filing System, is a filing system
+	  optimised for NAND Flash chips.
+
+	  To compile the YAFFS2 file system support as a module, choose M
+	  here: the module will be called yaffs2.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+	  Further information on YAFFS2 is available at
+	  <http://www.aleph1.co.uk/yaffs/>.
+
+config YAFFS_YAFFS1

+	depends on YAFFS_FS
+	default y
+	help
+	  Enable YAFFS1 support -- yaffs for 512 byte / page devices
+
+	  Not needed for 2K-page devices.
+
+	  If unsure, say Y.
+
+config YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
+	bool "Use older-style on-NAND data format with pageStatus byte"
+	depends on YAFFS_YAFFS1
+	default n
+	help
+
+	  Older-style on-NAND data format has a "pageStatus" byte to record
+	  chunk/page state.  This byte is zero when the page is discarded.
+	  Choose this option if you have existing on-NAND data using this
+	  format that you need to continue to support.  New data written
+	  also uses the older-style format.  Note: Use of this option
+	  generally requires that MTD's oob layout be adjusted to use the
+	  older-style format.  See notes on tags formats and MTD versions
+	  in yaffs_mtdif1.c.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config YAFFS_DOES_ECC
+	bool "Lets Yaffs do its own ECC"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_YAFFS1 && !YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
+	default n
+	help
+	  This enables Yaffs to use its own ECC functions instead of using
+	  the ones from the generic MTD-NAND driver.
+

+

+	bool "Use the same ecc byte order as Steven Hill's nand_ecc.c"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_DOES_ECC && !YAFFS_9BYTE_TAGS
+	default n
+	help
+	  This makes yaffs_ecc.c use the same ecc byte order as Steven
+	  Hill's nand_ecc.c. If not set, then you get the same ecc byte
+	  order as SmartMedia.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config YAFFS_YAFFS2
+	bool "2048 byte (or larger) / page devices"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS

+	  If unsure, say Y.
+
+config YAFFS_AUTO_YAFFS2
+	bool "Autoselect yaffs2 format"
+	depends on YAFFS_YAFFS2
+	default y
+	help
+	  Without this, you need to explicitely use yaffs2 as the file
+	  system type. With this, you can say "yaffs" and yaffs or yaffs2
+	  will be used depending on the device page size (yaffs on
+	  512-byte page devices, yaffs2 on 2K page devices).
+
+	  If unsure, say Y.
+
+config YAFFS_DISABLE_TAGS_ECC
+	bool "Disable YAFFS from doing ECC on tags by default"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS && YAFFS_YAFFS2
+	default n
+	help
+	  This defaults Yaffs to using its own ECC calculations on tags instead of
+	  just relying on the MTD.
+	  This behavior can also be overridden with tags_ecc_on and
+	  tags_ecc_off mount options.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config YAFFS_ALWAYS_CHECK_CHUNK_ERASED
+	bool "Force chunk erase check"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS
+	default n
+	help
+          Normally YAFFS only checks chunks before writing until an erased
+	  chunk is found. This helps to detect any partially written
+	  chunks that might have happened due to power loss.
+
+	  Enabling this forces on the test that chunks are erased in flash
+	  before writing to them. This takes more time but is potentially
+	  a bit more secure.
+
+	  Suggest setting Y during development and ironing out driver
+	  issues etc. Suggest setting to N if you want faster writing.
+
+	  If unsure, say Y.
+
+config YAFFS_EMPTY_LOST_AND_FOUND
+	bool "Empty lost and found on boot"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS
+	default n
+	help
+	  If this is enabled then the contents of lost and found is
+	  automatically dumped at mount.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config YAFFS_DISABLE_BLOCK_REFRESHING
+	bool "Disable yaffs2 block refreshing"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS
+	default n
+	help
+	 If this is set, then block refreshing is disabled.
+	 Block refreshing infrequently refreshes the oldest block in
+	 a yaffs2 file system. This mechanism helps to refresh flash to
+	 mitigate against data loss. This is particularly useful for MLC.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config YAFFS_DISABLE_BACKGROUND
+	bool "Disable yaffs2 background processing"
+	depends on YAFFS_FS
+	default n
+	help
+	 If this is set, then background processing is disabled.
+	 Background processing makes many foreground activities faster.
+
+	 If unsure, say N.
+

+	default y
+	help
