.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The program
|
|
.B mkfs.jffs2
|
|
creates a JFFS2 (Second Journalling Flash File System) file system
|
|
image and writes the resulting image to the file specified by the
|
|
.B -o
|
|
option or by default to the standard output, unless the standard
|
|
output is a terminal device in which case mkfs.jffs2 will abort.
|
|
|
|
The file system image is created using the files and directories
|
|
contained in the directory specified by the option
|
|
.B -r
|
|
or the present directory, if the
|
|
.B -r
|
|
option is not specified.
|
|
|
|
Each block of the files to be placed into the file system image
|
|
are compressed using one of the avaiable compressors depending
|
|
on the selected compression mode.
|
|
|
|
File systems are created with the same endianness as the host,
|
|
unless the
|
|
.B -b
|
|
or
|
|
.B -l
|
|
options are specified. 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.
|
|
.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 avaiable compressors and their default states.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -X, --enable-compressor=NAME
|
|
Enable a compressor. Use
|
|
.B -L
|
|
to see the list of the avaiable 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 avaiable compressors and their default priority.
|
|
Priorities are used by priority compression mode.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -L, --list-compressors
|
|
Show the list of the avaiable 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 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.
