ROM file system support found in fs/romfs/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ROMFS_FS:

• prompt: ROM file system support
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_BLOCK || CONFIG_MTD
• defined in fs/romfs/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.29–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD

Help text

This is a very small read-only file system mainly intended for initial ram disks of installation disks, but it could be used for other read-only media as well. Read Documentation/filesystems/romfs.rst for details.

To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called romfs. Note that the file system of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be a module.

If you don't know whether you need it, then you don't need it: answer N.
