41	  This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
42
43	  Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
44	  the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
45	  ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
46	  physical block numbers.  The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
47	  allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
48	  and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
49	  up fsck time.  For more information, please see the web pages at
50	  http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
51
52	  The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
53	  filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from
54	  the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best
55	  performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the
56	  filesystem, or formatting a new filesystem as an ext4
57	  filesystem initially.
58
59	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
60	  module will be called ext4.
61
62	  If unsure, say N.

68	default y
69	help
70	  Allow the ext4 file system driver code to be used for ext2
71	  file system mounts.  This allows users to reduce their
72	  compiled kernel size by using one file system driver for
73	  ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.

80	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
81	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

84	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

89	bool "Ext4 Security Labels"
90	depends on EXT4_FS
91	help
92	  Security labels support alternative access control models
93	  implemented by security modules like SELinux.  This option
94	  enables an extended attribute handler for file security
95	  labels in the ext4 filesystem.
96
97	  If you are not using a security module that requires using
98	  extended attributes for file security labels, say N.

113	  Enable encryption of ext4 files and directories.  This
114	  feature is similar to ecryptfs, but it is more memory
115	  efficient since it avoids caching the encrypted and

128
