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

|  | 26 | If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on | 
|  | 27 | a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS.  XFS considers quota | 
|  | 28 | information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a | 
|  | 29 | higher level guarantee of consistency.  The on-disk data format for | 
|  | 30 | quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a | 
|  | 31 | filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need | 
|  | 32 | for conversion. | 
|  | 33 |  | 
|  | 34 | If unsure, say N.  More comprehensive documentation can be found in | 
|  | 35 | README.quota in the xfsprogs package.  XFS quota can be used either | 
|  | 36 | with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) - | 
|  | 37 | they are completely independent subsystems. |

|  | 58 | separate area of disk space where only file data is stored.  It was | 
|  | 59 | originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable |

|  | 61 | mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely | 
|  | 62 | separated.  Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device | 
|  | 63 | from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently | 
|  | 64 | to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag. |
