+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nandfs
+.Nd NAND Flash file system
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile support for the
+.Nm ,
+place the following in your kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options NANDFS"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Even though the NAND FS can be used with any storage media, it has been
+optimized and designed towards NAND Flash devices, so typically the following
+driver is used:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device nand"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver enables
+.Fx
+with support for NAND-oriented file system.
+.Pp
+It is a log-structured style file system with the following major features and
+characteristics:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+Hard links, symbolic links support
+.It
+Block journaling
+.It
+Copy-On-Write
+.It
+Snapshots (continuous, taken automatically, simultaneously mountable)
+.It
+Quick crash recovery at mount time
+.It
+64-bit data structures; supports many files, large files and volumes
+.It
+POSIX file permissions
+.It
+Checksum / ECC
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The most common usage is mounting the file system:
+.Pp
+.Dl "mount -t nandfs /dev/<gnandN> /mnt"
+.Pp
+or:
+.Dl "mount_nandfs /dev/<gnandN> /mnt"
+.Pp
+where
+.Ar gnandN
+is the GEOM device representing a Flash partition (slice) containing the
+.Nm
+structure, and
+.Pa /mnt
+is a mount point.
+.Pp
+It is possible to define an entry in
+.Pa /etc/fstab
+for the
+.Nm :
+.Bd -literal
+/dev/gnand0 /flash nandfs rw 0 0
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This will mount a
+.Nm
+partition at the specified mount point during system boot.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The NAND FS concepts are based on NILFS principles and initial implementation
+was derived from early NILFS NetBSD code (read only). Since then the NAND FS
+code diverged significantly and is by no means compatible with NILFS.
+.Pp
+The NAND Flash file system first appeared in
+.Fx 10.0 .
