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

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

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

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

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