11 Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
12 kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
13
14 If this option is disabled:
15
16 - block device files will become unusable
17 - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
18
19 Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
20 they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.

55 Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
56 for any block device.
57
58 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
59 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
60 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
61 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
62 Attached SCSI).

64 This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly
65 access device serial numbers, etc.

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

96 Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
97 the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
98 one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
99 cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.
