8	  XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
9	  on the SGI IRIX platform.  It is completely multi-threaded, can
10	  support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
11	  variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
12	  Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
13	  and scalability.
14
15	  Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/>
16	  for complete details.  This implementation is on-disk compatible
17	  with the IRIX version of XFS.
18
19	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
20	  module will be called xfs.  Be aware, however, that if the file
21	  system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need
22	  to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot.
23
24config XFS_QUOTA
25	bool "XFS Quota support"
26	depends on XFS_FS
27	select QUOTACTL
28	help
29	  If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on
30	  a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS.  XFS considers quota
31	  information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a
32	  higher level guarantee of consistency.  The on-disk data format for
33	  quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a
34	  filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need
35	  for conversion.
36
37	  If unsure, say N.  More comprehensive documentation can be found in
38	  README.quota in the xfsprogs package.  XFS quota can be used either
39	  with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) -
40	  they are completely independent subsystems.
41
42config XFS_POSIX_ACL
43	bool "XFS POSIX ACL support"
44	depends on XFS_FS
45	select FS_POSIX_ACL
46	help
47	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
48	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
49
50	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
51
52config XFS_RT
53	bool "XFS Realtime subvolume support"
54	depends on XFS_FS
55	help
56	  If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
57	  which contain a realtime subvolume.  The realtime subvolume is a
58	  separate area of disk space where only file data is stored.  It was
59	  originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
60	  for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
61	  mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
62	  separated.  Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
63	  from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
64	  to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.
65
66	  See the xfs man page in section 5 for additional information.
67
68	  If unsure, say N.
69
70config XFS_ONLINE_SCRUB
71	bool "XFS online metadata check support"
72	default n
73	depends on XFS_FS
74	help
75	  If you say Y here you will be able to check metadata on a
76	  mounted XFS filesystem.  This feature is intended to reduce
77	  filesystem downtime by supplementing xfs_repair.  The key
78	  advantage here is to look for problems proactively so that
79	  they can be dealt with in a controlled manner.
80
81	  This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL.  Use with caution!
82
83	  See the xfs_scrub man page in section 8 for additional information.
84
85	  If unsure, say N.
86
87config XFS_ONLINE_REPAIR
88	bool "XFS online metadata repair support"
89	default n
90	depends on XFS_FS && XFS_ONLINE_SCRUB
91	help
92	  If you say Y here you will be able to repair metadata on a
93	  mounted XFS filesystem.  This feature is intended to reduce
94	  filesystem downtime by fixing minor problems before they cause the
95	  filesystem to go down.  However, it requires that the filesystem be
96	  formatted with secondary metadata, such as reverse mappings and inode
97	  parent pointers.
98
99	  This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL.  Use with caution!
100
101	  See the xfs_scrub man page in section 8 for additional information.
102
103	  If unsure, say N.
104
105config XFS_WARN
106	bool "XFS Verbose Warnings"
107	depends on XFS_FS && !XFS_DEBUG
108	help
109	  Say Y here to get an XFS build with many additional warnings.
110	  It converts ASSERT checks to WARN, so will log any out-of-bounds
111	  conditions that occur that would otherwise be missed. It is much
112	  lighter weight than XFS_DEBUG and does not modify algorithms and will
113	  not cause the kernel to panic on non-fatal errors.
114
115	  However, similar to XFS_DEBUG, it is only advisable to use this if you
116	  are debugging a particular problem.
117
118config XFS_DEBUG
119	bool "XFS Debugging support"
120	depends on XFS_FS
121	help
122	  Say Y here to get an XFS build with many debugging features,
123	  including ASSERT checks, function wrappers around macros,
124	  and extra sanity-checking functions in various code paths.
125
126	  Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably
127	  not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.
128
129	  Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV.
130
131config XFS_ASSERT_FATAL
132	bool "XFS fatal asserts"
133	default y
134	depends on XFS_FS && XFS_DEBUG
135	help
136	  Set the default DEBUG mode ASSERT failure behavior.
137
138	  Say Y here to cause DEBUG mode ASSERT failures to result in fatal
139	  errors that BUG() the kernel by default. If you say N, ASSERT failures
140	  result in warnings.
141
142	  This behavior can be modified at runtime via sysfs.
