13	  Btrfs is a general purpose copy-on-write filesystem with extents,
14	  writable snapshotting, support for multiple devices and many more
15	  features focused on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration.
16
17	  The filesystem disk format is no longer unstable, and it's not
18	  expected to change unless there are strong reasons to do so. If there
19	  is a format change, file systems with a unchanged format will
20	  continue to be mountable and usable by newer kernels.
21
22	  For more information, please see the web pages at
23	  http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org.
24
25	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
26	  module will be called btrfs.

33	select FS_POSIX_ACL
34	help
35	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
36	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
37
38	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
39	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

41	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N

43config BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY
44	bool "Btrfs with integrity check tool compiled in (DANGEROUS)"
45	depends on BTRFS_FS
46	help
47	  Adds code that examines all block write requests (including
48	  writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the
49	  state of the filesystem on disk is always consistent, i.e.,
50	  after a power-loss or kernel panic event the filesystem is
51	  in a consistent state.
52
53	  If the integrity check tool is included and activated in
54	  the mount options, plenty of kernel memory is used, and
55	  plenty of additional CPU cycles are spent. Enabling this
56	  functionality is not intended for normal use.
57
58	  In most cases, unless you are a btrfs developer who needs
59	  to verify the integrity of (super)-block write requests
60	  during the run of a regression test, say N
61
62config BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS
63	bool "Btrfs will run sanity tests upon loading"
64	depends on BTRFS_FS
65	help
66	  This will run some basic sanity tests on the free space cache
67	  code to make sure it is acting as it should.  These are mostly
68	  regression tests and are only really interesting to btrfs
69	  developers.
70
71	  If unsure, say N.
72
73config BTRFS_DEBUG
74	bool "Btrfs debugging support"
75	depends on BTRFS_FS
76	help
77	  Enable run-time debugging support for the btrfs filesystem. This may
78	  enable additional and expensive checks with negative impact on
79	  performance, or export extra information via sysfs.
80
81	  If unsure, say N.
82
83config BTRFS_ASSERT
84	bool "Btrfs assert support"
85	depends on BTRFS_FS
86	help
87	  Enable run-time assertion checking.  This will result in panics if
88	  any of the assertions trip.  This is meant for btrfs developers only.
89
90	  If unsure, say N.
