This is "Support for Large Block Devices" under Device Drivers/Block Devices:
CONFIG_LBD:
Say Y here if you want to attach large (bigger than 2TB) discs to your machine, or if you want to have a raid or loopback device bigger than 2TB. Otherwise say N.
The "2e73" refers to 2 to the exponent 73 bytes in size. Huge :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
