11 Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
12 kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
13
14 If this option is disabled:
15
16 - block device files will become unusable
17 - some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
18
19 Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
20 they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.

55 Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
56 for any block device.
57
58 Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
59 can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
60 with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
61 protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
62 Attached SCSI).

85 data integrity option provides hooks which can be used by
86 filesystems to ensure better data integrity.

118 which don't otherwise have any standardized method for listing the
119 partitions on a block device.
