# CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4: # # The V4 filesystem format lacks certain features that are supported # by the V5 format, such as metadata checksumming, strengthened # metadata verification, and the ability to store timestamps past the # year 2038. Because of this, the V4 format is deprecated. All users # should upgrade by backing up their files, reformatting, and restoring # from the backup. # # Administrators and users can detect a V4 filesystem by running # xfs_info against a filesystem mountpoint and checking for a string # beginning with "crc=". If the string "crc=0" is found, the # filesystem is a V4 filesystem. If no such string is found, please # upgrade xfsprogs to the latest version and try again. # # This option will become default N in September 2025. Support for the # V4 format will be removed entirely in September 2030. Distributors # can say N here to withdraw support earlier. # # To continue supporting the old V4 format (crc=0), say Y. # To close off an attack surface, say N. # # Symbol: XFS_SUPPORT_V4 [=y] # Type : bool # Defined at fs/xfs/Kconfig:25 # Prompt: Support deprecated V4 (crc=0) format # Depends on: BLOCK [=y] && XFS_FS [=m] # Location: # -> File systems # -> XFS filesystem support (XFS_FS [=m]) # # # CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4=y
