CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS: MTD partitioning support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS has multiple definitions:

MTD partitioning support found in drivers/mtd/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS:

• prompt: MTD partitioning support
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in drivers/mtd/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.8–2.6.39
• modules built: mtdpart, mtdpart, mtdpart

Help text

If you have a device which needs to divide its flash chip(s) up into multiple 'partitions', each of which appears to the user as a separate MTD device, you require this option to be enabled. If unsure, say 'Y'.

Note, however, that you don't need this option for the DiskOnChip devices. Partitioning on NFTL 'devices' is a different - that's the 'normal' form of partitioning used on a block device.

found in arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS:
