| 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. | |

| Security labels support alternative access control models | |

| 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. |
