-config EXT3_FS
- tristate "Ext3 journalling file system support"
- select JBD
- help
- This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
- (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
- (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
-
- The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
- to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
- crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
- at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
- is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
-
- Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
- of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
- between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
- file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
- system.
-
- To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
- behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
- tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
- file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
- e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
- (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
-
- To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
- module will be called ext3.
-
-config EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED
- bool "Default to 'data=ordered' in ext3"
- depends on EXT3_FS
- default y
- help
- The journal mode options for ext3 have different tradeoffs
- between when data is guaranteed to be on disk and
- performance. The use of "data=writeback" can cause
- unwritten data to appear in files after an system crash or
- power failure, which can be a security issue. However,
- "data=ordered" mode can also result in major performance
- problems, including seconds-long delays before an fsync()
- call returns. For details, see:
-
- http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext3_data_mode_tradeoffs
-
- If you have been historically happy with ext3's performance,
- data=ordered mode will be a safe choice and you should
- answer 'y' here. If you understand the reliability and data
- privacy issues of data=writeback and are willing to make
- that trade off, answer 'n'.
-
-config EXT3_FS_XATTR
- bool "Ext3 extended attributes"
- depends on EXT3_FS
- default y
- help
- Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
- the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
- <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
-
- If unsure, say N.
-
- You need this for POSIX ACL support on ext3.
-
-config EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL
- bool "Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists"
- depends on EXT3_FS_XATTR
- select FS_POSIX_ACL
- help
- Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
- groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
-
- To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
- Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
-
- If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
-
-config EXT3_FS_SECURITY
- bool "Ext3 Security Labels"
- depends on EXT3_FS_XATTR
- help
- Security labels support alternative access control models
- implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
- enables an extended attribute handler for file security
- labels in the ext3 filesystem.
-
- If you are not using a security module that requires using
- extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
