   8           This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
   9
  10           Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
  11           the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
  12           ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
  13           physical block numbers.  The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
  14           allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
  15           and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
  16           up fsck time.  For more information, please see the web pages at
  17           http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
  18
  19           The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
  20           filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from
  21           the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best
  22           performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the
  23           filesystem, or formatting a new filesystem as an ext4
  24           filesystem initially.
  25
  26           To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
  27           module will be called ext4.
  28
  29           If unsure, say N.

  37           Allow the ext4 file system driver code to be used for ext2 or
  38           ext3 file system mounts.  This allows users to reduce their
  39           compiled kernel size by using one file system driver for
  40           ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.

  47           POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
  48           groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
  49
  50           To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
  51           Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

  53           If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N

  55 config EXT4_FS_SECURITY

  57         depends on EXT4_FS
  58         help
  59           Security labels support alternative access control models
  60           implemented by security modules like SELinux.  This option
  61           enables an extended attribute handler for file security
  62           labels in the ext4 filesystem.
  63
  64           If you are not using a security module that requires using
  65           extended attributes for file security labels, say N.

  70         help
  71           Enables run-time debugging support for the ext4 filesystem.
  72
  73           If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
  74           with a command such as:
  75                 echo 1 > /sys/module/ext4/parameters/mballoc_debug
