Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET FINALIZED. You should say N here unless you are interested in testing Btrfs with non-critical data. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The module will be called btrfs. If unsure, say N. config BTRFS_FS_POSIX_ACL bool "Btrfs POSIX Access Control Lists" depends on BTRFS_FS select FS_POSIX_ACL help POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme. To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for Linux website . If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N config BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY bool "Btrfs with integrity check tool compiled in (DANGEROUS)" depends on BTRFS_FS help Adds code that examines all block write requests (including writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the state of the filesystem on disk is always consistent, i.e., after a power-loss or kernel panic event the filesystem is in a consistent state. If the integrity check tool is included and activated in the mount options, plenty of kernel memory is used, and plenty of additional CPU cycles are spent. Enabling this functionality is not intended for normal use. In most cases, unless you are a btrfs developer who needs to verify the integrity of (super)-block write requests during the run of a regression test, say N
