Provide block layer support for the kernel.
|

|
|
|

|
|
Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
|
||
|
|
kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If this option is disabled:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- block device files will become unusable
|
||
|
|
- some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
|
||
|
|
they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
|
||
|
|
suchlike.

This option is required to support the full capacity of large

(2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
|
||
|
|
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.

This option also enables support for single files larger than

2TB.

The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
|
||
|
|
order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
|
||
|
|
enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write
|

mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is
|
||
|
|
enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4.
|

The GFS2 filesystem also requires this feature.

Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support

for any block device.
|

|
|
|

Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
|
||
|
|
can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
|
||
|
|
with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response

protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
|
||
|

Attached SCSI).

This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly

Some storage devices allow extra information to be

stored/retrieved to help protect the data. The block layer

data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by

filesystems to ensure better data integrity.

Say yes here if you have a storage device that provides the

T10/SCSI Data Integrity Field or the T13/ATA External Path
