-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 EXT4DEV_FS
- tristate "Ext4dev/ext4 extended fs support development (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- select JBD2
- help
- Ext4dev is a predecessor filesystem of the next generation
- extended fs ext4, based on ext3 filesystem code. It will be
- renamed ext4 fs later, once ext4dev is mature and stabilized.
-
- Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
- the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
- it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
- numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow
- ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
- a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the
- on-disk format.
-
- Other than extent maps and 48-bit block numbers, ext4dev also is
- likely to have other new features such as persistent preallocation,
- high resolution time stamps, and larger file support etc. These
- features will be added to ext4dev gradually.
-
- To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
- module will be called ext4dev.
-
- If unsure, say N.
