cc2e2767 75 This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system

76 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
77 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
78
cc2e2767 79 The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
1da177e4
LT
80 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
81 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
82 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
83 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
84
85 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
86 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
87 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
88 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
89 system.
90
91 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
92 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
93 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
94 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
95 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
96 (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

1551 If you are connected to some other (usually local) Unix computer
1552 (using SLIP, PLIP, PPP or Ethernet) and want to mount files residing
1553 on that computer (the NFS server) using the Network File Sharing
1554 protocol, say Y. "Mounting files" means that the client can access
1555 the files with usual UNIX commands as if they were sitting on the
1556 client's hard disk. For this to work, the server must run the
1557 programs nfsd and mountd (but does not need to have NFS file system
1558 support enabled in its kernel). NFS is explained in the Network
1559 Administrator's Guide, available from
1560 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>, on its man page: "man
1561 nfs", and in the NFS-HOWTO.
1562
1563 A superior but less widely used alternative to NFS is provided by
1564 the Coda file system; see "Coda file system support" below.
1565
1566 If you say Y here, you should have said Y to TCP/IP networking also.
1567 This option would enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB.

1573 file system over NFS at boot time, say Y here and to "Kernel

1619 This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
1620 in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag. When O_DIRECT
1621 is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
1622 cache. Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
1623 directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
1624 no alignment restrictions.
1625
1626 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
1627 much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for
1628 you. Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network
1629 storms. This kernel build option defaults OFF to avoid exposing

2022 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
2023 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
2024 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
2025 no kernel support. Please read
2026 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
2027 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.

2029 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
2030 module will be called coda.

2035 help
2036 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
2037 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
2038 new realms implementation.
2039
2040 However this new API is not backward compatible with older
2041 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
2042 cache manager then say Y.

2044 For most cases you probably want to say N.
