74 help
75 This is the journaling 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
79 The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
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/>).

585 If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
586 VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
587 to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
588 diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
589 files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
590 other Unix files.
591
592 This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
593 the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
594 M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
595 order to make use of it.
596
597 Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
598 partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
599 mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
600 order to do that.
601
602 If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
603 Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
604 file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
605 available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").

718 be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are
719 disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1
720 at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option
721 to insmod when loading the ntfs module. Once the driver is active,
722 you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
723 echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
724 Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.

739 The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
740 changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
741 renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
742 so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
743 be written to.
744
745 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
746 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
747 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
748
749 Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
750 scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
751 write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),

1402 This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
1403 in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag. When O_DIRECT
1404 is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
1405 cache. Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
1406 directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
1407 no alignment restrictions.
1408
1409 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
1410 much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for

1630 This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
1631 (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
1632 (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
1633 PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
1634 file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
1635 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
ec58ef03

1636 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
1637 support for Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well.

1639 such as OS/2 and DOS.

1641 The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
1642 network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
1643 including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
1644 session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
1645 packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
1646 and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
1647 cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
1648 smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
1649 and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need
ec58ef03 1650 to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.

1677 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

1680 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
1681 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
1682 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
1683 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace

1730 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is

1732 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
1733 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
1734 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file

1754 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
1755 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard

1758 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
1759 persistent client caches and write back caching.

1761 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
