1config REISERFS_FS
2    tristate "Reiserfs support"
3    select CRC32
4    help
5      Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
6      tree. Uses journalling.
7
8      Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
9      architectural foundations.
10
11      In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
12      large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed
13      for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.
14
15      It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
16      database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
17      systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support
18      plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
19      make source code open.''

25      If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you
26      need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS.

28config REISERFS_CHECK
29    bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode"
30    depends on REISERFS_FS
31    help
32      If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can
33      possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its
34      operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we
35      have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the
36      latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all
37      out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its
38      effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug
39      report, say Y and you might get a useful error message. Almost
40      everyone should say N.
41
42config REISERFS_PROC_INFO
43    bool "Stats in /proc/fs/reiserfs"
44    depends on REISERFS_FS && PROC_FS
45    help
46      Create under /proc/fs/reiserfs a hierarchy of files, displaying
47      various ReiserFS statistics and internal data at the expense of
48      making your kernel or module slightly larger (+8 KB). This also
49      increases the amount of kernel memory required for each mount.
50      Almost everyone but ReiserFS developers and people fine-tuning
51      reiserfs or tracing problems should say N.
52
53config REISERFS_FS_XATTR
54    bool "ReiserFS extended attributes"
55    depends on REISERFS_FS
56    help
57      Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
58      the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
59      <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
60
61      If unsure, say N.
62
63config REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
64    bool "ReiserFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
65    depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR
66    select FS_POSIX_ACL
67    help
68      Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
69      groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
70
71      To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
72      Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
73
74      If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
75
76config REISERFS_FS_SECURITY
77    bool "ReiserFS Security Labels"
78    depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR
79    help
80      Security labels support alternative access control models
81      implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
82      enables an extended attribute handler for file security
83      labels in the ReiserFS filesystem.
84
85      If you are not using a security module that requires using
86      extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
