56da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  This is a generic journaling layer for block devices that support
66da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  both 32-bit and 64-bit block numbers.  It is currently used by
76da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  the ext4 and OCFS2 filesystems, but it could also be used to add
86da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  journal support to other file systems or block devices such
96da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  as RAID or LVM.

116da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you are using ext4 or OCFS2, you need to say Y here.
126da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you are not using ext4 or OCFS2 then you will
136da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  probably want to say N.
146da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan
156da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  To compile this device as a module, choose M here. The module will be
166da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  called jbd2.  If you are compiling ext4 or OCFS2 into the kernel,
176da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  you cannot compile this code as a module.

236da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you are using the ext4 journaled file system (or
246da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  potentially any other filesystem/device using JBD2), this option
256da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  allows you to enable debugging output while the system is running,
266da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  in order to help track down any problems you are having.
276da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  By default, the debugging output will be turned off.
286da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan
296da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
306da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  with "echo N > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd2/jbd2-debug", where N is a
316da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  number between 1 and 5. The higher the number, the more debugging
326da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  output is generated.  To turn debugging off again, do
336da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd2/jbd2-debug".
