73 help
74 This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
75 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
76 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
77
78 The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
79 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
80 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
81 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
82 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
83
84 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
85 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
86 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
87 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
88 system.
89
90 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
91 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
92 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
93 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
94 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
95 (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

700 be written to.

703 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
704 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.

1668 help
1669 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
1670 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
1671 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
1672 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
1673 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
1674 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
1675 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1676
1677 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
1678 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

1691 help
1692 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
1693 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
1694 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
1695 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
1696 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
1697 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
1698 persistent client caches and write back caching.
1699
1700 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
1701 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
1702 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
1703 no kernel support. Please read
1704 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
1705 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
1706
1707 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
1708 module will be called coda.

1714 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
1715 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
1716 new realms implementation.
1717
1718 However this new API is not backward compatible with older
1719 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
1720 cache manager then say Y.
