| 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. |

| 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. |
