Nick Andrewee864182008-04-21 09:51:04 +020013 Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
14 kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
15
16 If this option is disabled:
17
18 - block device files will become unusable
19 - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
20
21 Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
22 they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
