# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only config EXT2_FS tristate "Second extended fs support (DEPRECATED)" select BUFFER_HEAD select FS_IOMAP select LEGACY_DIRECT_IO help Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks. This filesystem driver is deprecated because it does not properly support inode time stamps beyond 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. Ext2 users are advised to use ext4 driver to access their filesystem. The driver is fully compatible, supports filesystems without journal or extents, and also supports larger time stamps if the filesystem is created with at least 256 byte inodes. This code is kept as a simple reference for filesystem developers. If unsure, say N. config EXT2_FS_XATTR bool "Ext2 extended attributes" depends on EXT2_FS help Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details). If unsure, say N. config EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL bool "Ext2 POSIX Access Control Lists" depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR select FS_POSIX_ACL help Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme. If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N config EXT2_FS_SECURITY bool "Ext2 Security Labels" depends on EXT2_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 ext2 filesystem. If you are not using a security module that requires using extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
