6	help
7	  XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
8	  on the SGI IRIX platform.  It is completely multi-threaded, can
9	  support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
10	  variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
11	  Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
12	  and scalability.
13
14	  Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/>
15	  for complete details.  This implementation is on-disk compatible
16	  with the IRIX version of XFS.
17
18	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
19	  module will be called xfs.  Be aware, however, that if the file
20	  system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need
21	  to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot.

23config XFS_EXPORT
24	bool
25	default y if XFS_FS && EXPORTFS
26
27config XFS_RT
28	bool "Realtime support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
29	depends on XFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
30	help
31	  If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
32	  which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a
33	  separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. The
34	  realtime subvolume is designed to provide very deterministic
35	  data rates suitable for media streaming applications.
36
37	  See the xfs man page in section 5 for a bit more information.
38
39	  This feature is unsupported at this time, is not yet fully
40	  functional, and may cause serious problems.
41
42	  If unsure, say N.
43
44config XFS_QUOTA
45	bool "Quota support"
46	depends on XFS_FS
47	help
48	  If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on
49	  a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS.  XFS considers quota
50	  information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a
51	  higher level guarantee of consistency.  The on-disk data format for
52	  quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a
53	  filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need
54	  for conversion.
55
56	  If unsure, say N.  More comprehensive documentation can be found in
57	  README.quota in the xfsprogs package.  XFS quota can be used either
58	  with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) -
59	  they are completely independent subsystems.
60
61config XFS_SECURITY
62	bool "Security Label support"
63	depends on XFS_FS
64	help
65	  Security labels support alternative access control models
66	  implemented by security modules like SELinux.  This option
67	  enables an extended attribute namespace for inode security
68	  labels in the XFS filesystem.
69
70	  If you are not using a security module that requires using
71	  extended attributes for inode security labels, say N.
72
73config XFS_POSIX_ACL
74	bool "POSIX ACL support"
75	depends on XFS_FS
76	help
77	  POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
78	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
79
80	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
81	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
82
83	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
