1config XFS_FS
2	tristate "XFS filesystem support"
3	depends on BLOCK
4	help
5	  XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
6	  on the SGI IRIX platform.  It is completely multi-threaded, can
7	  support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
8	  variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
9	  Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
10	  and scalability.
11
12	  Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/>
13	  for complete details.  This implementation is on-disk compatible
14	  with the IRIX version of XFS.
15
16	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
17	  module will be called xfs.  Be aware, however, that if the file
18	  system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need
19	  to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot.
20
21config XFS_QUOTA
22	bool "XFS Quota support"
23	depends on XFS_FS
24	help
25	  If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on
26	  a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS.  XFS considers quota
27	  information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a
28	  higher level guarantee of consistency.  The on-disk data format for
29	  quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a
30	  filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need
31	  for conversion.
32
33	  If unsure, say N.  More comprehensive documentation can be found in
34	  README.quota in the xfsprogs package.  XFS quota can be used either
35	  with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) -
36	  they are completely independent subsystems.
37
38config XFS_SECURITY
39	bool "XFS Security Label support"
40	depends on XFS_FS
41	help
42	  Security labels support alternative access control models
43	  implemented by security modules like SELinux.  This option
44	  enables an extended attribute namespace for inode security
45	  labels in the XFS filesystem.
46
47	  If you are not using a security module that requires using
48	  extended attributes for inode security labels, say N.
49
50config XFS_POSIX_ACL
51	bool "XFS POSIX ACL support"
52	depends on XFS_FS
53	help
54	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
55	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
56
57	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
58	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
59
60	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
61
62config XFS_RT
63	bool "XFS Realtime subvolume support"
64	depends on XFS_FS
65	help
66	  If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
67	  which contain a realtime subvolume.  The realtime subvolume is a
68	  separate area of disk space where only file data is stored.  It was
69	  originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
70	  for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
71	  mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
72	  separated.  Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
73	  from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
74	  to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.
75
76	  See the xfs man page in section 5 for additional information.
77
78	  If unsure, say N.
