| Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced | |
| tree. Uses journalling. | |
| Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system | |
| architectural foundations. | |
| In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with | |
| large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed | |
| for NFS and quotas, please see | |
| <https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page> for links. | |
| It is more easily extended to have features currently found in | |
| database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file | |
| systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support | |
| plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to | |
| make source code open.'' | |

| config REISERFS_CHECK | |
| bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode" | |
| depends on REISERFS_FS | |
| help | |
| If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can | |
| possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its | |
| operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we | |
| have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the | |
| latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all | |
| out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its | |
| effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug | |
| report, say Y and you might get a useful error message. Almost | |
| everyone should say N. | |
| config REISERFS_PROC_INFO | |
| bool "Stats in /proc/fs/reiserfs" | |
| depends on REISERFS_FS && PROC_FS | |
| help | |
| Create under /proc/fs/reiserfs a hierarchy of files, displaying | |
| various ReiserFS statistics and internal data at the expense of | |
| making your kernel or module slightly larger (+8 KB). This also | |
| increases the amount of kernel memory required for each mount. | |
| Almost everyone but ReiserFS developers and people fine-tuning | |
| reiserfs or tracing problems should say N. | |
| config REISERFS_FS_XATTR | |
| bool "ReiserFS extended attributes" | |
| depends on REISERFS_FS | |
| help | |
| Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by | |
| the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit | |
| <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). | |
| If unsure, say N. | |
| config REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL | |

| 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 <http://acl.bestbits.at/>. | |
| If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N | |
| config REISERFS_FS_SECURITY | |
| bool "ReiserFS Security Labels" | |
| depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR | |
| help | |
| Security labels support alternative access control models | |
| implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option | |
| enables an extended attribute handler for file security | |
| labels in the ReiserFS filesystem. | |
| If you are not using a security module that requires using | |
| extended attributes for file security labels, say N. |
