10 Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks.
11
12 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
13 module will be called ext2. Be aware however that the file system
14 of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
15 be compiled as a module, and so this could be dangerous.

53 config EXT3_FS
54 tristate "Ext3 journalling file system support"
55 help
56 This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
57 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
58 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
59
60 The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
61 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
62 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
63 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
64 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
65
66 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
67 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
68 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
69 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
70 system.
71
72 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
73 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
74 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
75 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
76 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
77 (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
78
79 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
80 module will be called ext3. Be aware however that the file system
81 of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
82 be compiled as a module, and so this may be dangerous.

127 help
128 This is a generic journaling layer for block devices. It is
129 currently used by the ext3 file system, but it could also be used to
130 add journal support to other file systems or block devices such as
131 RAID or LVM.

133 If you are using the ext3 file system, you need to say Y here. If
134 you are not using ext3 then you will probably want to say N.
135

137 called jbd. If you are compiling ext3 into the kernel, you cannot
138 compile this code as a module.

144 If you are using the ext3 journaled file system (or potentially any
145 other file system/device using JBD), this option allows you to
146 enable debugging output while the system is running, in order to
147 help track down any problems you are having. By default the
148 debugging output will be turned off.
149
150 If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
151 with "echo N > /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug", where N is a number between
152 1 and 5, the higher the number, the more debugging output is
153 generated. To turn debugging off again, do

166 Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced

168
169 Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
170 architectural foundations.
171
172 In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
173 large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed
174 for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.
175
176 It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
177 database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
178 systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support
179 plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
180 make source code open.''

193 If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can
194 possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its
195 operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we
196 have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the
197 latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all
198 out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its
199 effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug

664 be written to.
665
666 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
667 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
668 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.

693 you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
694 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.

1642 help
1643 This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
1644 (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
1645 (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
1646 PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
1647 file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
1648 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
1649 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Currently
1650 you must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
1651 such as Windows 9x and OS/2.
1652
1653 The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
1654 network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
1655 including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
1656 session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
1657 packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
1658 and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
1659 cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
1660 smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
1661 and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need
1662 to mount to Samba or Windows 2003 servers from this machine, say Y.

1675 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
1676 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
1677 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
1678 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
1679 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
1680 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
1681 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
1682 (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
1683 this time.

1690 help
1691 Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
1692 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
1693 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
1694 than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
1695 support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
1696 (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
1697 CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.

1709 help
1710 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
1711 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
1712 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
1713 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
1714 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
1715 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
1716 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1717
1718 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
1719 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

1732 help
1733 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
1734 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
1735 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
1736 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
1737 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
1738 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
1739 persistent client caches and write back caching.
1740
1741 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
1742 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
1743 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
1744 no kernel support. Please read
1745 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
1746 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.

1755 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
1756 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
1757 new realms implementation.
1758
1759 However this new API is not backward compatible with older
1760 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
1761 cache manager then say Y.
