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_POSIX_ACL
39	bool "XFS POSIX ACL support"
40	depends on XFS_FS
41	help
42	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
43	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
44
45	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
46	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
47
48	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
49
50config XFS_RT
51	bool "XFS Realtime subvolume support"
52	depends on XFS_FS
53	help
54	  If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
55	  which contain a realtime subvolume.  The realtime subvolume is a
56	  separate area of disk space where only file data is stored.  It was
57	  originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
58	  for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
59	  mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
60	  separated.  Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
61	  from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
62	  to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.
63
64	  See the xfs man page in section 5 for additional information.
65
66	  If unsure, say N.
67
68config XFS_DEBUG
69	bool "XFS Debugging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
70	depends on XFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
71	help
72	  Say Y here to get an XFS build with many debugging features,
73	  including ASSERT checks, function wrappers around macros,
74	  and extra sanity-checking functions in various code paths.
75
76	  Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably
77	  not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.
78
79	  Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV.
