66da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  This is a generic journaling layer for block devices that support
76da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  both 32-bit and 64-bit block numbers.  It is currently used by
86da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  the ext4 and OCFS2 filesystems, but it could also be used to add
96da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  journal support to other file systems or block devices such
106da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  as RAID or LVM.
116da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan
126da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you are using ext4 or OCFS2, you need to say Y here.
136da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you are not using ext4 or OCFS2 then you will
146da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  probably want to say N.
156da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan
166da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  To compile this device as a module, choose M here. The module will be
176da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  called jbd2.  If you are compiling ext4 or OCFS2 into the kernel,
186da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  you cannot compile this code as a module.

236da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	help
246da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you are using the ext4 journaled file system (or
256da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  potentially any other filesystem/device using JBD2), this option
266da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  allows you to enable debugging output while the system is running,
276da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  in order to help track down any problems you are having.
286da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  By default, the debugging output will be turned off.
296da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan
306da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
3175497d06SPaul Gortmaker	  with "echo N > /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug", where N is a
326da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  number between 1 and 5. The higher the number, the more debugging
336da0b38fSAlexey Dobriyan	  output is generated.  To turn debugging off again, do
3475497d06SPaul Gortmaker	  "echo 0 > /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug".
