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

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

Nathan Scottd7ede1a2006-06-13 16:28:11 +100060 which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a
61 separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. It was
62 originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
63 for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
64 mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
65 separated. Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
66 from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
67 to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.

76 help
77 Say Y here to get an XFS build with many additional warnings.
78 It converts ASSERT checks to WARN, so will log any out-of-bounds
79 conditions that occur that would otherwise be missed. It is much
80 lighter weight than XFS_DEBUG and does not modify algorithms and will
81 not cause the kernel to panic on non-fatal errors.
82
83 However, similar to XFS_DEBUG, it is only advisable to use this if you
84 are debugging a particular problem.

90 Say Y here to get an XFS build with many debugging features,
91 including ASSERT checks, function wrappers around macros,
92 and extra sanity-checking functions in various code paths.
93
94 Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably
95 not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.
96
97 Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV.
