Tuxera NitroFS
Product overview
Tuxera NitroFS™ is a transactional file system that protects both metadata and user data from corruption through copy-on-write design. Run your applications at top speed while ensuring your data stays intact. Our file system works with all embedded flash memory types, like eMMC, UFS, and SSD. Paired with Tuxera FlashFX Tera, it works on top of any NAND or NOR device.
Control exactly when your data gets committed to disk. Our Dynamic Transaction Point™ technology lets you control the timing based on your specific needs. This helps optimize write patterns, reduce write amplification, and extend the lifetime of your flash media.
Prevent data corruption with a design that never corrupts your data. This approach ensures consistent mount times and complete user data integrity. After power interruptions, your applications will instantly return to a “known good state,” without journal replays or disk checks during reboot.
Catch hidden data corruptions that standard file systems might miss. Our verification system uses an advanced tree structure. This advanced approach flags potential issues before they cause failures, giving you early warnings of media problems that typically go undetected until it’s too late.

Frequently asked Questions
Here are answers to what customers typically ask about NitroFS. Just reach out if your question isn’t listed here.
You can run NitroFS on Linux, VxWorks, or any other 32-bit or 64-bit real-time operating system (RTOS)—including your own proprietary systems.
Yes, you can secure your data with NitroFS using fscrypt on Linux. On another operating systems, we’ll help you choose the right approach for your security and performance needs.
You can customize every aspect of NitroFS to fit your exact requirements. Choose how often to save data, how to use your cache, and how to optimize for your hardware. Our team will help you find the perfect configuration for your system.
Customize the balance between performance and data at risk. All writes are atomic. Copy-on-write design never corrupts your data, ensuring consistent mount times and complete user data integrity.
Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRCs) ensure complete metadata integrity, unlike many file systems that cover only partial metadata. Optional CRCs for file data offer added reliability.
Linux file-based encryption support to enhance data security at the file level.
Allows system developers to define custom attributes to define specific behavior on certain files.
Reduces latency between multiple file access requests for high-quality multi-media experience.
Powerful method for discarding to maintain long-term performance and ensure optimal housekeeping for the flash device.
Built for seamless compatibility with FlashFX Tera, optimizing performance on flash storage.
Uses features in storage devices to gain performance and security advantages, such as secure delete.
Linux & VxWorks SDKs available. RTOS porting is supported, enabling deployment to any 32- or 64-bit RTOS, including proprietary operating systems.
We support a POSIX-like interface, making it easy to integrate with your existing applications.
Configure system behavior at build time, mount time, or run-time (e.g., transaction masks, and timing), and discard behavior.
The NitroFS Tools for Windows are available for interoperability. Please contact our Support team at support@tuxera.com.
