8	  This is a generic journaling layer for block devices that support
9	  both 32-bit and 64-bit block numbers.  It is currently used by
10	  the ext4 and OCFS2 filesystems, but it could also be used to add
11	  journal support to other file systems or block devices such
12	  as RAID or LVM.
13
14	  If you are using ext4 or OCFS2, you need to say Y here.
15	  If you are not using ext4 or OCFS2 then you will
16	  probably want to say N.
17
18	  To compile this device as a module, choose M here. The module will be
19	  called jbd2.  If you are compiling ext4 or OCFS2 into the kernel,
20	  you cannot compile this code as a module.

25	help
26	  If you are using the ext4 journaled file system (or
27	  potentially any other filesystem/device using JBD2), this option
28	  allows you to enable debugging output while the system is running,
29	  in order to help track down any problems you are having.
30	  By default, the debugging output will be turned off.
31
32	  If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
33	  with "echo N > /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug", where N is a
34	  number between 1 and 5. The higher the number, the more debugging
35	  output is generated.  To turn debugging off again, do
36	  "echo 0 > /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug".
