| 5 | F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports | |
| 6 | versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on | |
| 7 | addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect | |
| 8 | of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | Since flash-based storages show different characteristics according to | |
| 11 | the internal geometry or flash memory management schemes aka FTL, F2FS | |
| 12 | and tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk | |
| 13 | layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms. | |

| 27 | - average SIT information about whole segments | |

| 35 | Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by | |
| 36 | the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit | |

| 58 | help | |
| 59 | Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux | |
| 60 | Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO | |
| 61 | Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file | |
| 62 | security labels in the f2fs filesystem, so that it requires enabling | |
| 63 | the extended attribute support in advance. | |

| 65 | If you are not using a security module, say N. | |
