  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.

  23. Enable block devices of size 2TB and larger.
  24. This option is required to support the full capacity of large
  25. (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
  26. Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
  27. For example, RAID devices are frequently bigger than the capacity
  28. of the largest individual hard drive.
  29. This option is not required if you have individual disk drives
  30. which total 2TB+ and you are not aggregating the capacity into
  31. a large block device (e.g. using RAID or LVM).
  32. If unsure, say N.

  38. help
  39. Say Y here if you want to be able to trace the block layer actions
  40. on a given queue. Tracing allows you to see any traffic happening
  41. on a block device queue. For more information (and the userspace
  42. support tools needed), fetch the blktrace tools from:
  43. git://git.kernel.dk/blktrace.git
  44. If unsure, say N.

  49. Say Y here if you want to be able to handle very large files (2TB
  50. and larger), otherwise say N.
  51. If unsure, say Y.

  53. bool "Block layer SG support v4 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  54. depends on EXPERIMENTAL
  55. ---help---
  56. Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
  57. for any block device.
  58. Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
  59. can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
  60. with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
  61. protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
  62. Attached SCSI).
  63. If unsure, say N.
  64. config BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY
  65. bool "Block layer data integrity support"
  66. ---help---
  67. Some storage devices allow extra information to be
  68. stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
  69. data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
  70. filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
  71. Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
  72. T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
  73. Protection. If in doubt, say N.
