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.

30 Enable block devices of size 2TB and larger.
31
32 This option is required to support the full capacity of large
33 (2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
34 Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
35
36 For example, RAID devices are frequently bigger than the capacity
37 of the largest individual hard drive.
38
39 This option is not required if you have individual disk drives
40 which total 2TB+ and you are not aggregating the capacity into
41 a large block device (e.g. using RAID or LVM).
42
43 If unsure, say N.

73 Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
74 for any block device.
75
76 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
77 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
78 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
79 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
80 Attached SCSI).
81

86 ---help---
87 Some storage devices allow extra information to be
88 stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
89 data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
90 filesystems to ensure better data integrity.
91
92 Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the
93 T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
94 Protection. If in doubt, say N.
