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

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

40 help
41 Security labels support alternative access control models
42 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
43 enables an extended attribute namespace for inode security
44 labels in the XFS filesystem.
45
46 If you are not using a security module that requires using
47 extended attributes for inode security labels, say N.

53 POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
54 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

56 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
57 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

59 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.

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