 **NVRAM** - (Non-volatile RAM) is used for storing the hardware's configuration. While loading the firmware from the squash filesystem, parameters in the form of variables are fetched from the NVRAM. NVRAM size is relatively small and is measured in Kilobytes (KB). **NVRAM** - (Non-volatile RAM) is used for storing the hardware's configuration.

-Since modern routers have a relatively large amount of Flash memory available, FreshTomato can mount the unused storage space and make it available to FreshTomato's underlying (Linux) OS for normal file storage. This function is called JFFS, short for the //Journalling Flash File System// type used for the storage. Currently, JFFS2 (version 2) is used.+Since modern routers have a relatively large amount of Flash memory available, FreshTomato can mount the unused storage space and make it available to FreshTomato's underlying (Linux) OS((

 The figures below represent an example of storage allocation (not to scale). The numbers will vary based on your FreshTomato version and your hardware specifications. See the [[:hardware_compatibility|Hardware Compatibility]] page for more information on specific FLASH and NVRAM specifications. The figures below represent an example of storage allocation (not to scale).
