  8. Provide block layer support for the kernel.
  9. Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
  10. kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
  11. If this option is disabled:
  12. - block device files will become unusable
  13. - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
  14. Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
  15. they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
  16. Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
  17. suchlike.

  24. Enable block devices or files of size 2TB and larger.
  25. This option is required to support the full capacity of large
  26. (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
  27. Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
  28. This option also enables support for single files larger than
  29. 2TB.
  30. The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
  31. order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
  32. enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write
  33. mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is
  34. enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4.
  35. The GFS2 filesystem also requires this feature.
  36. If unsure, say Y.
  37. config BLK_DEV_BSG
  38. bool "Block layer SG support v4 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  39. depends on EXPERIMENTAL
  40. ---help---
  41. Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
  42. for any block device.
  43. Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
  44. can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
  45. with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
  46. protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
  47. Attached SCSI).
  48. If unsure, say N.
  49. config BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY
  50. bool "Block layer data integrity support"
  51. ---help---
  52. Some storage devices allow extra information to be
  53. stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
  54. data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
  55. filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
  56. Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
  57. T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
  58. Protection. If in doubt, say N.
