| 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 |
| 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. |
