| 7 | flash sticks. These provide a block-level interface which permits |
| 8 | reading, writing and (in some cases) erasing blocks. Block |
| 9 | devices often have a partition table which allows the device to |
| 10 | be partitioned into several areas, called 'partitions' in U-Boot. |
| 11 | A filesystem can be placed in each partition. |

| 28 | help |
| 29 | This option enables a disk-block cache for all block devices. |
| 30 | This is most useful when accessing filesystems under U-Boot since |
| 31 | it will prevent repeated reads from directory structures and other |
| 32 | filesystem data structures. |
