cc2e2767 75 This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
1da177e4
LT
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/>).

149 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
150 the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
02ea2104 151 it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
dab291af 152 numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow

1509 BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
1510 OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
1511 Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
1512 this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
1513 these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
1514 experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
1515 file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information.
1516
1517 The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
1518 READ-ONLY supported.
1519
1520 If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
1521 network using NFS, you don't need the UFS file system support (but
1522 you need NFS file system support obviously).
1523
1524 Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
1525 good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
1526 (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
1527 tar" or preferably "info tar").
1528
1529 When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
1530 NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
1531 recode ("info recode") for this purpose.

1579 on that computer (the NFS server) using the Network File Sharing
1580 protocol, say Y. "Mounting files" means that the client can access
1581 the files with usual UNIX commands as if they were sitting on the
1582 client's hard disk. For this to work, the server must run the
1583 programs nfsd and mountd (but does not need to have NFS file system
1584 support enabled in its kernel). NFS is explained in the Network
1585 Administrator's Guide, available from

1645 This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files

1647 is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page

1652 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are

1995 help
1996 Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
1997 to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
1998 the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
1999 messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
2000 option can be turned off unless you are debugging
2001 cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

2040 help
2041 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
2042 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
2043 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
2044 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
2045 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
2046 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
2047 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2048
2049 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
2050 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

2062 depends on INET
2063 help
2064 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
2065 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
2066 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
2067 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
2068 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
2069 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
2070 persistent client caches and write back caching.
2071
2072 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
2073 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
2074 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
2075 no kernel support. Please read
2076 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
2077 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
2078

2080 module will be called coda.

2086 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
