+config EXT2_FS
+ tristate "Second extended fs support (DEPRECATED)"
+ select BUFFER_HEAD
+ select FS_IOMAP
+ 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.
