 	  If you want to use the floppy disk drive(s) of your PC under Linux,
 	  say Y. Information about this driver, especially important for IBM
 	  Thinkpad users, is contained in <file:Documentation/floppy.txt>.
 	  That file also contains the location of the Floppy driver FAQ as

 config PARIDE
 	tristate "Parallel port IDE device support"
 	depends on PARPORT_PC
 	---help---
 	  There are many external CD-ROM and disk devices that connect through
 	  your computer's parallel port. Most of them are actually IDE devices
 	  using a parallel port IDE adapter. This option enables the PARIDE
 	  subsystem which contains drivers for many of these external drives.
 	  Read <file:Documentation/paride.txt> for more information.

 	  If you have said Y to the "Parallel-port support" configuration
 	  option, you may share a single port between your printer and other
 	  parallel port devices. Answer Y to build PARIDE support into your
 	  kernel, or M if you would like to build it as a loadable module. If
 	  your parallel port support is in a loadable module, you must build
 	  PARIDE as a module. If you built PARIDE support into your kernel,
 	  you may still build the individual protocol modules and high-level
 	  drivers as loadable modules. If you build this support as a module,
 	  it will be called paride.

 	  To use the PARIDE support, you must say Y or M here and also to at
 	  least one high-level driver (e.g. "Parallel port IDE disks",
 	  "Parallel port ATAPI CD-ROMs", "Parallel port ATAPI disks" etc.) and
 	  to at least one protocol driver (e.g. "ATEN EH-100 protocol",
 	  "MicroSolutions backpack protocol", "DataStor Commuter protocol"
 	  etc.).

 config BLK_CPQ_DA

 	bool "SCSI tape drive support for Smart Array 5xxx"
 	depends on BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA && PROC_FS
 	depends on SCSI=y || SCSI=BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA
 	help
 	  When enabled (Y), this option allows SCSI tape drives and SCSI medium
 	  changers (tape robots) to be accessed via a Compaq 5xxx array
 	  controller.  (See <file:Documentation/cciss.txt> for more details.)

 	  "SCSI support" and "SCSI tape support" must also be enabled for this
 	  option to work.

 	  When this option is disabled (N), the SCSI portion of the driver
 	  is not compiled.

 config BLK_DEV_DAC960
 	tristate "Mylex DAC960/DAC1100 PCI RAID Controller support"
 	depends on PCI
 	help
 	  This driver adds support for the Mylex DAC960, AcceleRAID, and
 	  eXtremeRAID PCI RAID controllers.  See the file
 	  <file:Documentation/README.DAC960> for further information about
 	  this driver.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
 	  module will be called DAC960.

 config BLK_DEV_UMEM
 	tristate "Micro Memory MM5415 Battery Backed RAM support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 	depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
 	---help---
 	  Saying Y here will include support for the MM5415 family of
 	  battery backed (Non-volatile) RAM cards.
 	  <http://www.umem.com/>

 	  The cards appear as block devices that can be partitioned into
 	  as many as 15 partitions.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
 	  module will be called umem.

 	  The umem driver has not yet been allocated a MAJOR number, so
 	  one is chosen dynamically.

 config BLK_DEV_UBD
 	bool "Virtual block device"
 	depends on UML
 	---help---
           The User-Mode Linux port includes a driver called UBD which will let
           you access arbitrary files on the host computer as block devices.
           Unless you know that you do not need such virtual block devices say
           Y here.

 config BLK_DEV_UBD_SYNC
 	bool "Always do synchronous disk IO for UBD"
 	depends on BLK_DEV_UBD
 	---help---
 	  Writes to the virtual block device are not immediately written to the
 	  host's disk; this may cause problems if, for example, the User-Mode
 	  Linux 'Virtual Machine' uses a journalling filesystem and the host
 	  computer crashes.

           Synchronous operation (i.e. always writing data to the host's disk
           immediately) is configurable on a per-UBD basis by using a special
           kernel command line option.  Alternatively, you can say Y here to
           turn on synchronous operation by default for all block devices.

           If you're running a journalling file system (like reiserfs, for
           example) in your virtual machine, you will want to say Y here.  If
           you care for the safety of the data in your virtual machine, Y is a
           wise choice too.  In all other cases (for example, if you're just
           playing around with User-Mode Linux) you can choose N.

 config BLK_DEV_COW_COMMON
 	bool
 	default BLK_DEV_UBD

 config MMAPPER
 	tristate "Example IO memory driver (BROKEN)"
 	depends on UML && BROKEN
 	---help---
           The User-Mode Linux port can provide support for IO Memory
           emulation with this option.  This allows a host file to be
           specified as an I/O region on the kernel command line. That file
           will be mapped into UML's kernel address space where a driver can
           locate it and do whatever it wants with the memory, including
           providing an interface to it for UML processes to use.

           For more information, see
           <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/iomem.html>.

           If you'd like to be able to provide a simulated IO port space for
           User-Mode Linux processes, say Y.  If unsure, say N.

 config BLK_DEV_LOOP
 	tristate "Loopback device support"
 	---help---
 	  Saying Y here will allow you to use a regular file as a block
 	  device; you can then create a file system on that block device and
 	  mount it just as you would mount other block devices such as hard
 	  drive partitions, CD-ROM drives or floppy drives. The loop devices
 	  are block special device files with major number 7 and typically
 	  called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc.

 	  This is useful if you want to check an ISO 9660 file system before
 	  burning the CD, or if you want to use floppy images without first
 	  writing them to floppy. Furthermore, some Linux distributions avoid
 	  the need for a dedicated Linux partition by keeping their complete
 	  root file system inside a DOS FAT file using this loop device
 	  driver.

 	  To use the loop device, you need the losetup utility, found in the
 	  util-linux package, see
 	  <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.

 	  The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in
 	  a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption
 	  (scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low
 	  bits of, say, a sound file). This is also safe if the file resides
 	  on a remote file server.

 	  There are several ways of encrypting disks. Some of these require
 	  kernel patches. The vanilla kernel offers the cryptoloop option
 	  and a Device Mapper target (which is superior, as it supports all
 	  file systems). If you want to use the cryptoloop, say Y to both
 	  LOOP and CRYPTOLOOP, and make sure you have a recent (version 2.12
 	  or later) version of util-linux. Additionally, be aware that
 	  the cryptoloop is not safe for storing journaled filesystems.

 	  Note that this loop device has nothing to do with the loopback
 	  device used for network connections from the machine to itself.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
 	  module will be called loop.

 	  Most users will answer N here.

 config BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP
 	tristate "Cryptoloop Support"
 	select CRYPTO
 	select CRYPTO_CBC
 	depends on BLK_DEV_LOOP
 	---help---
 	  Say Y here if you want to be able to use the ciphers that are
 	  provided by the CryptoAPI as loop transformation. This might be
 	  used as hard disk encryption.

 	  WARNING: This device is not safe for journaled file systems like
 	  ext3 or Reiserfs. Please use the Device Mapper crypto module
 	  instead, which can be configured to be on-disk compatible with the
 	  cryptoloop device.

 config BLK_DEV_NBD
 	tristate "Network block device support"
 	depends on NET
 	---help---
 	  Saying Y here will allow your computer to be a client for network
 	  block devices, i.e. it will be able to use block devices exported by
 	  servers (mount file systems on them etc.). Communication between
 	  client and server works over TCP/IP networking, but to the client
 	  program this is hidden: it looks like a regular local file access to
 	  a block device special file such as /dev/nd0.

 	  Network block devices also allows you to run a block-device in
 	  userland (making server and client physically the same computer,
 	  communicating using the loopback network device).

 	  Read <file:Documentation/nbd.txt> for more information, especially
 	  about where to find the server code, which runs in user space and
 	  does not need special kernel support.

 	  Note that this has nothing to do with the network file systems NFS
 	  or Coda; you can say N here even if you intend to use NFS or Coda.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
 	  module will be called nbd.

 	  If unsure, say N.

 config BLK_DEV_SX8
 	tristate "Promise SATA SX8 support"
 	depends on PCI
 	---help---
 	  Saying Y or M here will enable support for the
 	  Promise SATA SX8 controllers.

 	  Use devices /dev/sx8/$N and /dev/sx8/$Np$M.

 config BLK_DEV_UB
 	tristate "Low Performance USB Block driver"
 	depends on USB
 	help
 	  This driver supports certain USB attached storage devices
 	  such as flash keys.

 	  If you enable this driver, it is recommended to avoid conflicts
 	  with usb-storage by enabling USB_LIBUSUAL.

 	  If unsure, say N.

 config BLK_DEV_RAM
 	tristate "RAM disk support"
 	---help---
 	  Saying Y here will allow you to use a portion of your RAM memory as
 	  a block device, so that you can make file systems on it, read and
 	  write to it and do all the other things that you can do with normal
 	  block devices (such as hard drives). It is usually used to load and
 	  store a copy of a minimal root file system off of a floppy into RAM
 	  during the initial install of Linux.

 	  Note that the kernel command line option "ramdisk=XX" is now
 	  obsolete. For details, read <file:Documentation/ramdisk.txt>.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
 	  module will be called rd.

 	  Most normal users won't need the RAM disk functionality, and can
 	  thus say N here.

 config BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT
 	int "Default number of RAM disks"
 	default "16"
 	depends on BLK_DEV_RAM
 	help
 	  The default value is 16 RAM disks. Change this if you know what
 	  are doing. If you boot from a filesystem that needs to be extracted
 	  in memory, you will need at least one RAM disk (e.g. root on cramfs).

 config BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE
 	int "Default RAM disk size (kbytes)"
 	depends on BLK_DEV_RAM
 	default "4096"
 	help
 	  The default value is 4096 kilobytes. Only change this if you know
 	  what are you doing. If you are using IBM S/390, then set this to
 	  8192.

 config BLK_DEV_RAM_BLOCKSIZE
 	int "Default RAM disk block size (bytes)"
 	depends on BLK_DEV_RAM
 	default "1024"
 	help
 	  The default value is 1024 bytes.  PAGE_SIZE is a much more
 	  efficient choice however.  The default is kept to ensure initrd
 	  setups function - apparently needed by the rd_load_image routine
 	  that supposes the filesystem in the image uses a 1024 blocksize.

 config CDROM_PKTCDVD
 	tristate "Packet writing on CD/DVD media"
 	depends on !UML
 	help
 	  If you have a CDROM/DVD drive that supports packet writing, say
 	  Y to include support. It should work with any MMC/Mt Fuji
 	  compliant ATAPI or SCSI drive, which is just about any newer
 	  DVD/CD writer.

 	  Currently only writing to CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVDRAM discs
 	  is possible.
 	  DVD-RW disks must be in restricted overwrite mode.

 	  See the file <file:Documentation/cdrom/packet-writing.txt>
 	  for further information on the use of this driver.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
 	  module will be called pktcdvd.

 config CDROM_PKTCDVD_BUFFERS
 	int "Free buffers for data gathering"
 	depends on CDROM_PKTCDVD
 	default "8"
 	help
 	  This controls the maximum number of active concurrent packets. More
 	  concurrent packets can increase write performance, but also require
 	  more memory. Each concurrent packet will require approximately 64Kb
 	  of non-swappable kernel memory, memory which will be allocated when
 	  a disc is opened for writing.

 config CDROM_PKTCDVD_WCACHE
 	bool "Enable write caching (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 	depends on CDROM_PKTCDVD && EXPERIMENTAL
 	help
 	  If enabled, write caching will be set for the CD-R/W device. For now
 	  this option is dangerous unless the CD-RW media is known good, as we
 	  don't do deferred write error handling yet.

 config ATA_OVER_ETH
 	tristate "ATA over Ethernet support"
 	depends on NET
 	help
 	This driver provides Support for ATA over Ethernet block
 	devices like the Coraid EtherDrive (R) Storage Blade.

 config SUNVDC

	are block special device files with major number 7 and typically
	called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc.

	This is useful if you want to check an ISO 9660 file system before
	burning the CD, or if you want to use floppy images without first
	writing them to floppy. Furthermore, some Linux distributions avoid
	the need for a dedicated Linux partition by keeping their complete
	root file system inside a DOS FAT file using this loop device
	driver.

	To use the loop device, you need the losetup utility, found in the
	util-linux package, see
	<ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.

	The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in
	a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption
	(scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low
	bits of, say, a sound file). This is also safe if the file resides
	on a remote file server.

	There are several ways of encrypting disks. Some of these require
	kernel patches. The vanilla kernel offers the cryptoloop option
	and a Device Mapper target (which is superior, as it supports all
	file systems). If you want to use the cryptoloop, say Y to both
	LOOP and CRYPTOLOOP, and make sure you have a recent (version 2.12
	or later) version of util-linux. Additionally, be aware that
	the cryptoloop is not safe for storing journaled filesystems.

	Note that this loop device has nothing to do with the loopback
	device used for network connections from the machine to itself.

	To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	module will be called loop.

	Most users will answer N here.

	config BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP
	tristate "Cryptoloop Support"
	select CRYPTO
	select CRYPTO_CBC
	depends on BLK_DEV_LOOP
	---help---
	Say Y here if you want to be able to use the ciphers that are
	provided by the CryptoAPI as loop transformation. This might be
	used as hard disk encryption.

	WARNING: This device is not safe for journaled file systems like
	ext3 or Reiserfs. Please use the Device Mapper crypto module
	instead, which can be configured to be on-disk compatible with the
	cryptoloop device.

	config BLK_DEV_NBD
	tristate "Network block device support"
	depends on NET
	---help---
	Saying Y here will allow your computer to be a client for network
	block devices, i.e. it will be able to use block devices exported by
	servers (mount file systems on them etc.). Communication between
	client and server works over TCP/IP networking, but to the client
	program this is hidden: it looks like a regular local file access to
	a block device special file such as /dev/nd0.

	Network block devices also allows you to run a block-device in
	userland (making server and client physically the same computer,
	communicating using the loopback network device).

	Read <file:Documentation/nbd.txt> for more information, especially
	about where to find the server code, which runs in user space and
	does not need special kernel support.

	Note that this has nothing to do with the network file systems NFS
	or Coda; you can say N here even if you intend to use NFS or Coda.

	To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	module will be called nbd.

	If unsure, say N.

	config BLK_DEV_SX8
	tristate "Promise SATA SX8 support"
	depends on PCI
	---help---
	Saying Y or M here will enable support for the
	Promise SATA SX8 controllers.

	Use devices /dev/sx8/$N and /dev/sx8/$Np$M.

	config BLK_DEV_UB
	tristate "Low Performance USB Block driver"
	depends on USB
	help
	This driver supports certain USB attached storage devices
	such as flash keys.

	If you enable this driver, it is recommended to avoid conflicts
	with usb-storage by enabling USB_LIBUSUAL.

	If unsure, say N.

	config BLK_DEV_RAM
	tristate "RAM disk support"
	---help---
	Saying Y here will allow you to use a portion of your RAM memory as
	a block device, so that you can make file systems on it, read and
	write to it and do all the other things that you can do with normal
	block devices (such as hard drives). It is usually used to load and
	store a copy of a minimal root file system off of a floppy into RAM
	during the initial install of Linux.

	Note that the kernel command line option "ramdisk=XX" is now
	obsolete. For details, read <file:Documentation/ramdisk.txt>.

	To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	module will be called rd.

	Most normal users won't need the RAM disk functionality, and can
	thus say N here.

	config BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT
	int "Default number of RAM disks"
	default "16"
	depends on BLK_DEV_RAM
	help
	The default value is 16 RAM disks. Change this if you know what
	are doing. If you boot from a filesystem that needs to be extracted
	in memory, you will need at least one RAM disk (e.g. root on cramfs).

	config BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE
	int "Default RAM disk size (kbytes)"
	depends on BLK_DEV_RAM
	default "4096"
	help
	The default value is 4096 kilobytes. Only change this if you know
	what are you doing. If you are using IBM S/390, then set this to
	8192.

	config BLK_DEV_RAM_BLOCKSIZE
	int "Default RAM disk block size (bytes)"
	depends on BLK_DEV_RAM
	default "1024"
	help
	The default value is 1024 bytes. PAGE_SIZE is a much more
	efficient choice however. The default is kept to ensure initrd
	setups function - apparently needed by the rd_load_image routine
	that supposes the filesystem in the image uses a 1024 blocksize.

	config CDROM_PKTCDVD
	tristate "Packet writing on CD/DVD media"
	depends on !UML
	help
	If you have a CDROM/DVD drive that supports packet writing, say
	Y to include support. It should work with any MMC/Mt Fuji
	compliant ATAPI or SCSI drive, which is just about any newer
	DVD/CD writer.

	Currently only writing to CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVDRAM discs
	is possible.
	DVD-RW disks must be in restricted overwrite mode.

	See the file <file:Documentation/cdrom/packet-writing.txt>
	for further information on the use of this driver.

	To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	module will be called pktcdvd.

	config CDROM_PKTCDVD_BUFFERS
	int "Free buffers for data gathering"
	depends on CDROM_PKTCDVD
	default "8"
	help
	This controls the maximum number of active concurrent packets. More
	concurrent packets can increase write performance, but also require
	more memory. Each concurrent packet will require approximately 64Kb
	of non-swappable kernel memory, memory which will be allocated when
	a disc is opened for writing.

	config CDROM_PKTCDVD_WCACHE
	bool "Enable write caching (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on CDROM_PKTCDVD && EXPERIMENTAL
	help
	If enabled, write caching will be set for the CD-R/W device. For now
	this option is dangerous unless the CD-RW media is known good, as we
	don't do deferred write error handling yet.

	config ATA_OVER_ETH
	tristate "ATA over Ethernet support"
	depends on NET
	help
	This driver provides Support for ATA over Ethernet block
	devices like the Coraid EtherDrive (R) Storage Blade.

	config SUNVDC
