  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.
  12. If unsure, say Y.
  13. config EXT2_FS_XATTR

  15. depends on EXT2_FS
  16. help
  17. Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
  18. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
  19. <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
  20. If unsure, say N.

  26. Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
  27. groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
  28. To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
  29. Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

  33. depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR
  34. help
  35. Security labels support alternative access control models
  36. implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
  37. enables an extended attribute handler for file security
  38. labels in the ext2 filesystem.
  39. If you are not using a security module that requires using
  40. extended attributes for file security labels, say N.

  60. (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
  61. (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
  62. The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
  63. to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
  64. crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
  65. at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
  66. is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
  67. Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
  68. of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
  69. between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
  70. file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
  71. system.
  72. To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
  73. behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
  74. tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
  75. file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
