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

1da177e4 LT |
29 | help |
30 | If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on | |
31 | a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS. XFS considers quota | |
32 | information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a | |
33 | higher level guarantee of consistency. The on-disk data format for | |
34 | quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a | |
35 | filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need | |
36 | for conversion. | |
37 | ||
38 | If unsure, say N. More comprehensive documentation can be found in | |
39 | README.quota in the xfsprogs package. XFS quota can be used either | |
40 | with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) - | |
41 | they are completely independent subsystems. | |

20ba0287 NS |
56 | help |
57 | If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems | |
d7ede1aa NS |
58 | which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a |
59 | separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. It was | |
60 | originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable | |
61 | for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic | |
62 | mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely | |
63 | separated. Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device | |
64 | from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently | |
65 | to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag. | |

74 | depends on XFS_FS | |
75 | help | |
76 | If you say Y here you will be able to check metadata on a | |
77 | mounted XFS filesystem. This feature is intended to reduce | |
78 | filesystem downtime by supplementing xfs_repair. The key | |
79 | advantage here is to look for problems proactively so that | |
80 | they can be dealt with in a controlled manner. | |
81 | ||
82 | This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL. Use with caution! | |

92 | help | |
93 | If you say Y here you will be able to repair metadata on a | |
94 | mounted XFS filesystem. This feature is intended to reduce | |
95 | filesystem downtime by fixing minor problems before they cause the | |
96 | filesystem to go down. However, it requires that the filesystem be | |
97 | formatted with secondary metadata, such as reverse mappings and inode | |
98 | parent pointers. | |

108 | depends on XFS_FS && !XFS_DEBUG | |
109 | help | |
110 | Say Y here to get an XFS build with many additional warnings. | |
111 | It converts ASSERT checks to WARN, so will log any out-of-bounds | |
112 | conditions that occur that would otherwise be missed. It is much | |
113 | lighter weight than XFS_DEBUG and does not modify algorithms and will | |
114 | not cause the kernel to panic on non-fatal errors. | |
115 | ||
116 | However, similar to XFS_DEBUG, it is only advisable to use this if you | |
117 | are debugging a particular problem. | |

127 | Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably | |
128 | not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem. | |
