12 | Btrfs is a general purpose copy-on-write filesystem with extents, |
| 13 | writable snapshotting, support for multiple devices and many more | |
| 14 | features focused on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration. | |

16 | The filesystem disk format is no longer unstable, and it's not |
| 17 | expected to change unless there are strong reasons to do so. If there | |
| 18 | is a format change, file systems with a unchanged format will | |
| 19 | continue to be mountable and usable by newer kernels. | |

| 24 | To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The | |
| 25 | module will be called btrfs. | |

| 43 | bool "Btrfs with integrity check tool compiled in (DANGEROUS)" | |
| 44 | depends on BTRFS_FS | |
| 45 | help | |
| 46 | Adds code that examines all block write requests (including | |
| 47 | writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the | |
| 48 | state of the filesystem on disk is always consistent, i.e., | |
| 49 | after a power-loss or kernel panic event the filesystem is | |
| 50 | in a consistent state. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | If the integrity check tool is included and activated in | |
| 53 | the mount options, plenty of kernel memory is used, and | |
| 54 | plenty of additional CPU cycles are spent. Enabling this | |
| 55 | functionality is not intended for normal use. | |
| 56 | ||

| 58 | to verify the integrity of (super)-block write requests | |
| 59 | during the run of a regression test, say N | |

| 65 | This will run some basic sanity tests on the free space cache | |
| 66 | code to make sure it is acting as it should. These are mostly | |

67 | regression tests and are only really interesting to btrfs |
