   8          This permits the block layer to be removed from the kernel if it's not
   9          needed (on some embedded devices for example).  If this option is
  10          disabled, then blockdev files will become unusable and some
  11          filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
  12
  13          This option will also disable SCSI character devices and USB storage
  14          since they make use of various block layer definitions and
  15          facilities.
  16
  17          Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
  18          suchlike.

  26           Say Y here if you want to attach large (bigger than 2TB) discs to
  27           your machine, or if you want to have a raid or loopback device
  28           bigger than 2TB.  Otherwise say N.

  36           Say Y here, if you want to be able to trace the block layer actions
  37           on a given queue. Tracing allows you to see any traffic happening
  38           on a block device queue. For more information (and the user space
  39           support tools needed), fetch the blktrace app from:

  47           Say Y here if you want to be able to handle very large files (bigger
  48           than 2TB), otherwise say N.

  50           If unsure, say Y.
