It is completely multi-threaded, can + support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, + variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of + Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance + and scalability. + + Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/> + for complete details. This implementation is on-disk compatible + with the IRIX version of XFS. + + If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which + can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you + want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The + module will be called xfs.o. Be aware, however, that if the file + system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need + to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot. + +CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA + If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on + a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS. XFS considers quota + information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a + higher level guarantee of consistency. The on-disk data format for + quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a + filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need + for conversion. + + If unsure, say N. More comprehensive documentation can be found in + README.quota in the xfsprogs package. XFS quota can be used either + with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) - + they are completely independent subsystems. + +CONFIG_XFS_RT + If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems + which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a + separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. The + realtime subvolume is designed to provide very deterministic + data rates suitable for media streaming applications. + + See the xfs man page in section 5 for a bit more information. + + This feature is unsupported at this time, is not yet fully + functional, and may cause serious problems. + + If unsure, say N. + |
