fs/Kconfig: move ext2, ext3, ext4, JBD, JBD2 out
Use fs/*/Kconfig more, which is good because everything related to one filesystem is in one place and fs/Kconfig is quite fat. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

74 help
75 This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
76 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
77 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
78
79 The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
80 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
81 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
82 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
83 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
84
85 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
86 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
87 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
88 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
89 system.
90
91 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
92 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
93 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
94 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
95 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
96 (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

143 help
144 This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
145
146 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
147 the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
148 ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
149 physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
150 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
151 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
152 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
153 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
154
155 The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
156 filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from
157 the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best
158 performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the
159 filesystem, or formating a new filesystem as an ext4
160 filesystem initially.

171 Starting with 2.6.28, the name of the ext4 filesystem was

174 "ext4dev" hardcoded.
175
176 To enable backwards compatibility so that systems that are
177 still expecting to mount ext4 filesystems using ext4dev,
178 chose Y here. This feature will go away by 2.6.31, so
179 please arrange to get your userspace programs fixed!
