__NOTOC__ AXFS (Advanced XIP Filesystem) is a compressed read-only file system for Linux, initially developed at Intel, and now maintained at Numonyx. It was designed to use execute in place (XIP) alongside compression aiming to reduce boot and program load times, while retaining a small memory footprint for embedded devices. This is achieved by mixing compressed and uncompressed pages in the same executable file.〔Jonathan Corbet, (August 26, 2008) ''(AXFS: a compressed, execute-in-place filesystem )'', lwn.net〕 AXFS is free software (licensed under the GPL). Cramfs is another read-only compressed file system that supports XIP (with patches); however, it uses a strategy of decompressing entire files, whereas AXFS supports XIP with page granularity.〔Justin Treon, (2008-05-09) ', LinuxDevices.com, "There are two XIP-enabled Linux filing systems that can be used for a Balanced XIP implementation: Linear XIP CRAMFS and AXFS. The Linear XIP CRAMFS decompresses files on a file-by-file basis, whereas AXFS decompresses files on a page-by-page basis offering more optimal Flash usage."〕 == See also == * Squashfs is another read-only compressed file system * Cloop is a compressed loopback device module for the Linux kernel * e2compr provides compression for ext2 * List of file systems * Comparison of file systems 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AXFS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
