If this option is 10 disabled, then blockdev files will become unusable and some 11 filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable. 12 13 This option will also disable SCSI character devices and USB storage 14 since they make use of various block layer definitions and 15 facilities. 16 17 Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and 18 suchlike. 19 20if BLOCK 21 22config LBD 23 bool "Support for Large Block Devices" 24 depends on !64BIT 25 help 26 Say Y here if you want to attach large (bigger than 2TB) discs to 27 your machine, or if you want to have a raid or loopback device 28 bigger than 2TB.
