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