tristate "NILFS2 file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)" | ||
depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL | ||
select CRC32 | ||
help | ||
NILFS2 is a log-structured file system (LFS) supporting continuous | ||
snapshotting. In addition to versioning capability of the entire | ||
file system, users can even restore files mistakenly overwritten or | ||
destroyed just a few seconds ago. Since this file system can keep | ||
consistency like conventional LFS, it achieves quick recovery after | ||
system crashes. | ||
|
||
NILFS2 creates a number of checkpoints every few seconds or per | ||
synchronous write basis (unless there is no change). Users can | ||
select significant versions among continuously created checkpoints, | ||
and can change them into snapshots which will be preserved for long | ||
periods until they are changed back to checkpoints. Each | ||
snapshot is mountable as a read-only file system concurrently with | ||
its writable mount, and this feature is convenient for online backup. | ||
|
||
Some features including atime, extended attributes, and POSIX ACLs, | ||
are not supported yet. | ||
|
||
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the | ||
module will be called nilfs2. If unsure, say N. |
