Now that ext4 driver must be used to access ext3 filesystems, improve the Kconfig help text to better explain that using ext4 driver to access the filesystem is fully compatible with the old ext3 driver. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.com>

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.
