Expand the fs/Kconfig "help" info to clarify why it's a bad idea to deselect the TMPFS_POSIX_ACL config variable. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J.

Tmpfs is a file system which keeps all files in virtual memory.
|
|
|
|
Everything in tmpfs is temporary in the sense that no files will be
|
|
created on your hard drive. The files live in memory and swap
|
|
space. If you unmount a tmpfs instance, everything stored therein is
|
|
lost.

|
|

See <file:Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt> for details.

POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support additional access rights
|
|
for users and groups beyond the standard owner/group/world scheme,
|
|
and this option selects support for ACLs specifically for tmpfs
|
|
filesystems.
|
|
|
|
If you've selected TMPFS, it's possible that you'll also need
|
|
this option as there are a number of Linux distros that require
|
|
POSIX ACL support under /dev for certain features to work properly.
|
|
For example, some distros need this feature for ALSA-related /dev
|
|
files for sound to work properly. In short, if you're not sure,
|
|
say Y.
|
|
|
|
To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
|
|
Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit

Currently this enables support for the trusted.* and

You need this for POSIX ACL support on tmpfs.
