8 This permits the block layer to be removed from the kernel if it's not
9 needed (on some embedded devices for example). If this option is
10 disabled, then blockdev files will become unusable and some
11 filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
12
13 This option will also disable SCSI character devices and USB storage
14 since they make use of various block layer definitions and
15 facilities.
16
17 Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
18 suchlike.

26 Say Y here if you want to attach large (bigger than 2TB) discs to
27 your machine, or if you want to have a raid or loopback device
28 bigger than 2TB. Otherwise say N.

35 help
36 Say Y here, if you want to be able to trace the block layer actions
37 on a given queue. Tracing allows you to see any traffic happening
38 on a block device queue. For more information (and the user space
39 support tools needed), fetch the blktrace app from:

James Bottomley80ed71c2007-07-19 10:15:10 -0500[diff] [blame]54 depends on EXPERIMENTAL

FUJITA Tomonori319a7b72007-07-17 12:22:09 +0200[diff] [blame]56 Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
57 for any block device.
58
59 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
60 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
61 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
62 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
63 Attached SCSI).
