| 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. |

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

| config CIFS_DEBUG2 |
| bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines" |
| depends on CIFS |
| help |
| Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines |
| to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of |
| the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug |
| messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This |
| option can be turned off unless you are debugging |
| cifs problems. If unsure, say N. |

| help |
| Enables cifs features under testing. These features are |
| experimental and currently include DFS support and directory |
| change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY), as well as the upcall |
| mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation |
| and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on |
| setting a value of 1 to the pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental |
| (which is disabled by default). See the file fs/cifs/README |

| Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which accesses |
| userspace helper utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged (RFC 4178) |
| Kerberos tickets which are needed to mount to certain secure servers |

| config NCP_FS |

| 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. |

| config CODA_FS |
| 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 |
| bool "Use 96-bit Coda file identifiers" |

| 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. |
