24 Btrfs is a general purpose copy-on-write filesystem with extents,
25 writable snapshotting, support for multiple devices and many more
26 features focused on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration.
28 The filesystem disk format is no longer unstable, and it's not
29 expected to change unless there are strong reasons to do so. If there
30 is a format change, file systems with a unchanged format will
31 continue to be mountable and usable by newer kernels.
33 For more information, please see the web pages at
34 http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org.
36 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
37 module will be called btrfs.
41 config BTRFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
42 bool "Btrfs POSIX Access Control Lists"
46 POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
47 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
49 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
51 config BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY
52 bool "Btrfs with integrity check tool compiled in (DEPRECATED)"
55 This feature has been deprecated and will be removed in 6.7.
57 Adds code that examines all block write requests (including
58 writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the
59 state of the filesystem on disk is always consistent, i.e.,
60 after a power-loss or kernel panic event the filesystem is
61 in a consistent state.
63 If the integrity check tool is included and activated in
64 the mount options, plenty of kernel memory is used, and
65 plenty of additional CPU cycles are spent. Enabling this
66 functionality is not intended for normal use.
68 In most cases, unless you are a btrfs developer who needs
69 to verify the integrity of (super)-block write requests
70 during the run of a regression test, say N
72 config BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS
73 bool "Btrfs will run sanity tests upon loading"
76 This will run some basic sanity tests on the free space cache
77 code to make sure it is acting as it should. These are mostly
78 regression tests and are only really interesting to btrfs
84 bool "Btrfs debugging support"
87 Enable run-time debugging support for the btrfs filesystem. This may
88 enable additional and expensive checks with negative impact on
89 performance, or export extra information via sysfs.
94 bool "Btrfs assert support"
97 Enable run-time assertion checking. This will result in panics if
98 any of the assertions trip. This is meant for btrfs developers only.
102 config BTRFS_FS_REF_VERIFY
103 bool "Btrfs with the ref verify tool compiled in"
107 Enable run-time extent reference verification instrumentation. This
108 is meant to be used by btrfs developers for tracking down extent
109 reference problems or verifying they didn't break something.
