For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should

+ Say Y here if you want to be able to trace the block layer actions
|
|
|
+ on a given queue. Tracing allows you to see any traffic happening
|
|
|
+ on a block device queue. For more information (and the userspace
|
|
|
+ support tools needed), fetch the blktrace tools from:

|
|
|
