  9. Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks.
  10. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
  11. module will be called ext2. Be aware however that the file system
  12. of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
  13. be compiled as a module, and so this could be dangerous.

  19. Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
  20. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit

  37. Security labels support alternative access control models
  38. implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
  39. enables an extended attribute handler for file security

  61. This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
  62. (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
  63. (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
  64. The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
  65. to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
  66. crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
  67. at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
  68. is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
  69. Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
  70. of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
  71. between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
  72. file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
  73. system.
  74. To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
  75. behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
  76. tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
  77. file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
  78. e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
  79. (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
  80. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
