- help
- Provide block layer support for the kernel.
- Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
- kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
- If this option is disabled:
- - block device files will become unusable
- - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
- Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
- they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
- Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
- suchlike.
- if BLOCK
- config LBD
- bool "Support for large block devices and files"
- depends on !64BIT
- help
- Enable block devices or files of size 2TB and larger.
- This option is required to support the full capacity of large
- (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
- Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
-
- This option also enables support for single files larger than
- 2TB.
- If unsure, say N.
- config BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE
- bool "Support for tracing block io actions"
- depends on SYSFS
- select RELAY
- select DEBUG_FS
- select TRACEPOINTS
- help
- 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:
- git://git.kernel.dk/blktrace.git
- If unsure, say N.
- config BLK_DEV_BSG
- bool "Block layer SG support v4 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- ---help---
- Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
- for any block device.
- Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
- can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
- with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
- protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
- Attached SCSI).
- If unsure, say N.
- config BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY
- bool "Block layer data integrity support"
- ---help---
- Some storage devices allow extra information to be
- stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
- data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
- filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
- Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
- T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
- Protection. If in doubt, say N.
