+ This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
+
+ Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
+ the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
+ ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
+ physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
+ allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
+ and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
+ up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
+ http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
+
+ The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there
+ are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode
+ table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4
+ features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new
+ filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling
+ of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward
+ compatible.
+
+ To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
+ module will be called ext4.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2

+ depends on EXT2_FS=n

+ help
+ Allow the ext4 file system driver code to be used for ext2

+ ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.
+
+config EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL

+
+config EXT4_FS_SECURITY
+ bool "Ext4 Security Labels"

+ Security labels support alternative access control models
+ implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option

+ labels in the ext4 filesystem.
