75 This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
76 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
77 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
78
79 The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
80 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
81 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
82 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
83 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
84
85 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
86 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
87 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
88 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
89 system.
90
91 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
92 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
93 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
94 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
95 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals

148
149 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
150 the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
151 it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
152 numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow
153 ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
154 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the
155 on-disk format.

1668 depends on NFS_FS
1669 help
1670 This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
1671 in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag. When O_DIRECT
1672 is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
1673 cache. Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
1674 directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
1675 no alignment restrictions.
1676
1677 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
1678 much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for
1679 you. Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network
1680 storms. This kernel build option defaults OFF to avoid exposing
1681 system administrators unwittingly to a potentially hazardous
1682 feature.
1683
1684 For more details on NFS O_DIRECT, see fs/nfs/direct.c.
1685
1686 If unsure, say N. This reduces the size of the NFS client, and
1687 causes open() to return EINVAL if a file residing in NFS is
1688 opened with the O_DIRECT flag.
