help
This adds support for an optional field to /etc/mdev.conf for
executing commands when devices are created/removed.
For more information, please see docs/mdev.txt
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MDEV_LOAD_FIRMWARE
bool "Support loading of firmwares"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MDEV_LOAD_FIRMWARE
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MDEV
help
Some devices need to load firmware before they can be usable.
These devices will request userspace look up the files in
/lib/firmware/ and if it exists, send it to the kernel for
loading into the hardware.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
bool "mount"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_MOUNT
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
All files and filesystems in Unix are arranged into one big directory
tree. The 'mount' utility is used to graft a filesystem onto a
particular part of the tree. A filesystem can either live on a block
device, or it can be accessible over the network, as is the case with
NFS filesystems. Most people using BusyBox will also want to enable
the 'mount' utility.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
bool "Support option -f"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
help
Enable support for faking a file system mount.

depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
help
Enable mounting of virtual file systems via external helpers.
E.g. "mount obexfs#-b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt" will in effect call
"obexfs -b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt"
Also "mount -t sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" will try
"sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" if simple mount syscall fails.
The idea is to use such virtual filesystems in /etc/fstab.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_LABEL
bool "Support specifying devices by label or UUID"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MOUNT_LABEL
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_VOLUMEID
help
This allows for specifying a device by label or uuid, rather than by
name. This feature utilizes the same functionality as blkid/findfs.
This also enables label or uuid support for swapon.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS
bool "Support mounting NFS file systems on Linux < 2.6.23"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HAVE_RPC
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
help
Enable mounting of NFS file systems on Linux kernels prior
to version 2.6.23. Note that in this case mounting of NFS
over IPv6 will not be possible.
Note that this option links in RPC support from libc,
which is rather large (~10 kbytes on uclibc).
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_CIFS
bool "Support mounting CIFS/SMB file systems"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MOUNT_CIFS
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
help
Enable support for samba mounts.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FLAGS
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
bool "Support lots of -o flags in mount"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MOUNT_FLAGS
help
Without this, mount only supports ro/rw/remount. With this, it
supports nosuid, suid, dev, nodev, exec, noexec, sync, async, atime,
noatime, diratime, nodiratime, loud, bind, move, shared, slave,
private, unbindable, rshared, rslave, rprivate, and runbindable.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FSTAB
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT
bool "Support /etc/fstab and -a"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MOUNT_FSTAB
help
Support mount all and looking for files in /etc/fstab.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_OTHERTAB
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FSTAB
bool "Support -T <alt_fstab>"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_MOUNT_OTHERTAB
help

config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UEVENT
bool "uevent"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UEVENT
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
uevent is a netlink listener for kernel uevent notifications
sent via netlink. It is usually used for dynamic device creation.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ACPID
bool "acpid"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_ACPID
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
/proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
(just use /dev/input/event*).
It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
(if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_ACPID_COMPAT
bool "Accept and ignore redundant options"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_ACPID_COMPAT
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ACPID
help
Accept and ignore compatibility options -g -m -s -S -v.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BLKID
bool "blkid"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_BLKID
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_VOLUMEID
help
Lists labels and UUIDs of all filesystems.
WARNING:
With all submodules selected, it will add ~8k to busybox.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_BLKID_TYPE
bool "Print filesystem type"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_BLKID_TYPE
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BLKID
help
Show TYPE="filesystem type"
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DMESG
bool "dmesg"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_DMESG
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you
wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_DMESG_PRETTY
bool "Pretty dmesg output"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_DMESG_PRETTY
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DMESG
help
If you wish to scrub the syslog level from the output, say 'Y' here.
The syslog level is a string prefixed to every line with the form
"<#>".
With this option you will see:
# dmesg
Linux version 2.6.17.4 .....
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable)
Without this option you will see:
# dmesg
<5>Linux version 2.6.17.4 .....
<6>BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
<6> BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable)
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FBSET
bool "fbset"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FBSET
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
fbset is used to show or change the settings of a Linux frame buffer
device. The frame buffer device provides a simple and unique
interface to access a graphics display. Enable this option
if you wish to enable the 'fbset' utility.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FBSET_FANCY
bool "Turn on extra fbset options"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_FBSET_FANCY
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FBSET
help
This option enables extended fbset options, allowing one to set the
framebuffer size, color depth, etc. interface to access a graphics
display. Enable this option if you wish to enable extended fbset
options.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FBSET_READMODE
bool "Turn on fbset readmode support"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_FBSET_READMODE
depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FBSET
help
This option allows fbset to read the video mode database stored by
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_FBSET_READMODE /etc/fb.modes, which can be used to set frame buffer
device to pre-defined video modes.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDFLUSH
bool "fdflush"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FDFLUSH
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken
removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a
hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to
forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have
such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time
you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely
leave this disabled.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDFORMAT
bool "fdformat"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FDFORMAT
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
fdformat is used to low-level format a floppy disk.
config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK
bool "fdisk"
default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FDISK
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
help
The fdisk utility is used to divide hard disks into one or more
logical disks, which are generally called partitions. This utility

help
The switch_root utility is used from initramfs to select a new
root device. Under initramfs, you have to use this instead of
pivot_root. (Stop reading here if you don't care why.)
Booting with initramfs extracts a gzipped cpio archive into rootfs
(which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved
or unmounted*, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead,
switch_root deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself),
does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and
then execs the specified init program.
* Because the Linux kernel uses rootfs internally as the starting
and ending point for searching through the kernel's doubly linked
list of active mount points. That's why.

Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices.
The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
device.
You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.
(If you don't want umount to free the loop device, use "umount -D".)

depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT
select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
help
Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
that your /etc directory be writable, tends to get easily confused
by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
your kernel.
