Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
|

|
|
used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
|

|
will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
|

|
|
themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
|
||
|
|
to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
|
||
|
|
them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
|
||
|
|
particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

This option includes various MTD tests into compilation. The tests

should normally be compiled as kernel modules. The modules perform

various checks and verifications when loaded.

WARNING: some of the tests will ERASE entire MTD device which they

test. Do not use these tests unless you really know what you do.

Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
|
||
|
|
as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
|
||
|
|
on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
|
||
|
|
devices performing that function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
|
||
|
|
System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
|
||
|
|
(although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
|
||
|
|
of the mtdblock device).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
|
||
|
|
on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
|
||
|
|
this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
|
||
|
|
almost never written to.

For historical reasons, by default, either a master is present or
|

|
|
several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that
|
||
|
|
data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does
|
||
|
|
this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option
|
||
|
|
leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes
|
||
|
|
the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than
|
||
|
|
what lies behind the master.
