245 This is a generic journaling layer for block devices that support
246 both 32-bit and 64-bit block numbers. It is currently used by
247 the ext4dev/ext4 filesystem, but it could also be used to add
248 journal support to other file systems or block devices such
249 as RAID or LVM.

262 If you are using the ext4dev/ext4 journaled file system (or
263 potentially any other filesystem/device using JBD2), this option
264 allows you to enable debugging output while the system is running,
265 in order to help track down any problems you are having.
266 By default, the debugging output will be turned off.
267
268 If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
269 with "echo N > /proc/sys/fs/jbd2-debug", where N is a number between
270 1 and 5. The higher the number, the more debugging output is
271 generated. To turn debugging off again, do
272 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/jbd2-debug".
