Nick Andrewee864182008-04-21 09:51:04 +0200[diff] [blame]10 Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
11 kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
12
13 If this option is disabled:
14
15 - block device files will become unusable
16 - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
17
18 Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
19 they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.

33 This option is required to support the full capacity of large
34 (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
35 Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
Jens Axboeb3a6ffe2008-12-12 09:51:16 +0100[diff] [blame]36
37 This option also enables support for single files larger than
38 2TB.

Theodore Ts'o4d783b02009-01-06 15:16:33 -0500[diff] [blame]40 The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
41 order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewiczdb29a6b2009-04-21 09:27:03 +0200[diff] [blame]42 enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write
43 mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is
44 enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4.

Nick Andrewee864182008-04-21 09:51:04 +0200[diff] [blame]57 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
58 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
59 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
60 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
61 Attached SCSI).

John Stoffel14d9fa32009-08-04 22:10:17 +0200[diff] [blame]63 This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly

79 bool "Block layer data integrity support"
80 ---help---
81 Some storage devices allow extra information to be
82 stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
83 data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
84 filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
85
86 Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
87 T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
88 Protection. If in doubt, say N.

95 Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
