|
+ Important: this feature is experimental so far and the on-flash
|
|
|
+ format for fastmap may change in the next kernel versions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
|
|
|
+ in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
|
|
|
+ only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
|
|
|
+ The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
|
|
|
+ the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
|
|
|
+ attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
|
|
|
+ a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI module parameter
|
|
|
+ fm_autoconvert to 1 if you want so. Please note that fastmap-enabled
|
|
|
+ images are still usable with UBI implementations without
|
|
|
+ fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap fits
|
|
|
+ into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If in doubt, say "N".
