| This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system | |
| (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system | |
| (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks. | |
| The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have | |
| to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a | |
| crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made | |
| at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system | |
| is consistent without the need for a lengthy check. | |
| Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format | |
| of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch | |
| between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the | |
| file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file | |
| system. | |
| To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the | |
| behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man | |
| tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3 | |
| file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using | |

| be written to. | |
| While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have | |
| so far not received a single report where the driver would have | |
| damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use. | |
| Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from | |

| depends on IPX!=n || INET | |
| help | |
| NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is | |
| used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to | |
| IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you | |
| to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like | |
| any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file | |
| <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and | |
| the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |
| You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a | |
| file *server* for Novell NetWare clients. | |
| General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and | |
| Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. | |
| To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called | |
| ncpfs. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network. | |

| tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)" | |
| depends on INET | |
| help | |
| Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it | |
| enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them | |
| with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard | |
| disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for | |
| disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server | |
| replication, security model for authentication and encryption, | |
| persistent client caches and write back caching. | |
| If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda | |
| *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the | |
| client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need | |
| no kernel support. Please read | |
| <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda | |
| home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>. | |
| To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the | |
| module will be called coda. | |
| config CODA_FS_OLD_API | |

| help | |
| A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0 | |
| to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the | |
| new realms implementation. | |
| However this new API is not backward compatible with older | |
| clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace | |
| cache manager then say Y. | |
| For most cases you probably want to say N. | |
