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/>).

147 the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
148 ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
149 physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
150 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
151 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
152 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
153 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
154
155 The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
156 filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from
157 the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best
158 performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the
159 filesystem, or formating a new filesystem as an ext4

1961 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
1962 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
1963 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
1964 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
1965 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
1966 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
1967 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
1968 (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
1969 this time.

1977 Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
1978 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
1979 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
1980 than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
1981 support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
1982 (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
1983 CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.

1989 Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
1990 to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
1991 the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
1992 messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
1993 option can be turned off unless you are debugging
1994 cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

2022 help
2023 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
2024 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
2025 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
2026 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
2027 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
2028 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
2029 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2030
2031 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
2032 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

2045 help
2046 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
2047 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
2048 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
2049 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
2050 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
2051 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
2052 persistent client caches and write back caching.
2053
2054 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
2055 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
2056 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
2057 no kernel support. Please read
2058 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
2059 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
