This permits the block layer to be removed from the kernel if it's not
|
|
needed (on some embedded devices for example). If this option is
|
|
disabled, then blockdev files will become unusable and some
|
|
filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
|
|
|
|
This option will also disable SCSI character devices and USB storage
|
|
since they make use of various block layer definitions and
|
|
facilities.
|

|
|
Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
|
|
suchlike.

Say Y here, if you want to be able to trace the block layer actions

on a given queue. Tracing allows you to see any traffic happening
|

on a block device queue. For more information (and the user space

support tools needed), fetch the blktrace app from:

Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support
|
|
for any block device.
|
|
|
|
Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
|
|
can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
|
|
with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
|
|
protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
|
|
Attached SCSI).
