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

1523 Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
1524 this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
1525 these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the

1965 help
1966 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
1967 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
1968 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
1969 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
1970 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
1971 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
1972 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
1973 (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
1974 this time.

1982 Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
1983 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
1984 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
1985 than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
1986 support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
1987 (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
1988 CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.

1994 Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
1995 to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
1996 the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
1997 messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
1998 option can be turned off unless you are debugging
1999 cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

2027 help
2028 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
2029 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
2030 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
2031 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
2032 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
2033 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
2034 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2035
2036 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
2037 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

2050 help
2051 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
2052 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
2053 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
2054 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
2055 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
2056 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
2057 persistent client caches and write back caching.
2058
2059 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
2060 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
2061 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
2062 no kernel support. Please read
2063 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
2064 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
