Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

6 | help | ||
7 | XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated | ||
8 | on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can | ||
9 | support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, | ||
10 | variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of | ||
11 | Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance | ||
12 | and scalability. | ||
13 | |||
14 | Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/> | ||
15 | for complete details. This implementation is on-disk compatible | ||
16 | with the IRIX version of XFS. | ||
17 | |||
18 | To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the | ||
19 | module will be called xfs. Be aware, however, that if the file | ||
20 | system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need | ||
21 | to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot. | ||

28 | bool "Realtime support (EXPERIMENTAL)" | ||
29 | depends on XFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL | ||
30 | help | ||
31 | If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems | ||
32 | which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a | ||
33 | separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. The | ||
34 | realtime subvolume is designed to provide very deterministic | ||
35 | data rates suitable for media streaming applications. | ||
36 | |||
37 | See the xfs man page in section 5 for a bit more information. | ||
38 | |||
39 | This feature is unsupported at this time, is not yet fully | ||
40 | functional, and may cause serious problems. | ||

44 | config XFS_QUOTA | ||
45 | bool "Quota support" | ||
46 | depends on XFS_FS | ||
47 | help | ||
48 | If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on | ||
49 | a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS. XFS considers quota | ||
50 | information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a | ||
51 | higher level guarantee of consistency. The on-disk data format for | ||
52 | quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a | ||
53 | filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need | ||
54 | for conversion. | ||
55 | |||
56 | If unsure, say N. More comprehensive documentation can be found in | ||
57 | README.quota in the xfsprogs package. XFS quota can be used either | ||
58 | with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) - | ||
59 | they are completely independent subsystems. | ||
60 | |||
61 | config XFS_SECURITY | ||
62 | bool "Security Label support" | ||
63 | depends on XFS_FS | ||
64 | help | ||
65 | Security labels support alternative access control models | ||
66 | implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option | ||
67 | enables an extended attribute namespace for inode security | ||
68 | labels in the XFS filesystem. | ||
69 | |||
70 | If you are not using a security module that requires using | ||
71 | extended attributes for inode security labels, say N. | ||

74 | bool "POSIX ACL support" | ||
75 | depends on XFS_FS | ||
