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

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

  	  which contain a realtime subvolume.  The realtime subvolume is a
  	  separate area of disk space where only file data is stored.  It was
  	  originally designed to provide deterministic data rates suitable
  	  for media streaming applications, but is also useful as a generic
  	  mechanism for ensuring data and metadata/log I/Os are completely
  	  separated.  Regular file I/Os are isolated to a separate device
  	  from all other requests, and this can be done quite transparently
  	  to applications via the inherit-realtime directory inode flag.

  	help
  	  Say Y here to get an XFS build with many debugging features,
  	  including ASSERT checks, function wrappers around macros,
  	  and extra sanity-checking functions in various code paths.
  
  	  Note that the resulting code will be HUGE and SLOW, and probably
  	  not useful unless you are debugging a particular problem.
  
  	  Say N unless you are an XFS developer, or you play one on TV.
