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

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

Nathan Scott20ba0282005-09-08 15:34:58 +100056 help
57 If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
Nathan Scottd7ede1a2006-06-13 16:28:11 +100058 which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a
59 separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. It was
60 originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
61 for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
62 mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
63 separated. Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
64 from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
65 to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.

75 Say Y here to get an XFS build with many debugging features,
76 including ASSERT checks, function wrappers around macros,
77 and extra sanity-checking functions in various code paths.
78
79 Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably
80 not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.
81
82 Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV.
