- config EXT4_FS
- tristate "The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem"
- select JBD2
- select CRC16
- help
- This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
- Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
- the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
- ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
- physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
- allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
- and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
- up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
- http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
- The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
- filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from
- the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best
- performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the
- filesystem, or formatting a new filesystem as an ext4
- filesystem initially.
- To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
- module will be called ext4.
- If unsure, say N.
- config EXT4DEV_COMPAT
- bool "Enable ext4dev compatibility"
- depends on EXT4_FS
- help
- Starting with 2.6.28, the name of the ext4 filesystem was
- renamed from ext4dev to ext4. Unfortunately there are some
- legacy userspace programs (such as klibc's fstype) have
- "ext4dev" hardcoded.
- To enable backwards compatibility so that systems that are
- still expecting to mount ext4 filesystems using ext4dev,
- chose Y here. This feature will go away by 2.6.31, so
- please arrange to get your userspace programs fixed!
- config EXT4_FS_XATTR
- bool "Ext4 extended attributes"
- depends on EXT4_FS
- default y
- help
- Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
- the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
- <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
- If unsure, say N.
- You need this for POSIX ACL support on ext4.
- config EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL
- bool "Ext4 POSIX Access Control Lists"
- depends on EXT4_FS_XATTR
- select FS_POSIX_ACL
- help
- POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
- groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
- To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
- Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
- If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
- config EXT4_FS_SECURITY
- bool "Ext4 Security Labels"
- depends on EXT4_FS_XATTR
- help
- Security labels support alternative access control models
- implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
- enables an extended attribute handler for file security
- labels in the ext4 filesystem.
- If you are not using a security module that requires using
- extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
