Nick Andrewee864182008-04-21 09:51:04 +020012 Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
13 kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
14
15 If this option is disabled:
16
17 - block device files will become unusable
18 - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
19
20 Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
21 they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
David Howells93614012006-09-30 20:45:40 +020022

Theodore Ts'o4d783b02009-01-06 15:16:33 -050042 The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
43 order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewiczdb29a6b2009-04-21 09:27:03 +020044 enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write
45 mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is
46 enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4.

Nick Andrewee864182008-04-21 09:51:04 +020059 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
60 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
61 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
62 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
63 Attached SCSI).

84 Some storage devices allow extra information to be
85 stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer
86 data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
87 filesystems to ensure better data integrity.

90 T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
91 Protection. If in doubt, say N.
