Help¶

A larger lookahead buffer increases the number of blocks found during an allocation pass. The lookahead buffer is stored as a compact bitmap, so each byte of RAM can track 8 blocks. Must be a multiple of 8.

Direct dependencies¶

FILE_SYSTEM_LITTLEFS && FILE_SYSTEM

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Default¶

32
