	  You want to say Y here, unless you intend to use Linux exclusively
	  from inside a DOS partition using the UMSDOS file system. The
	  advantage of the latter is that you can get away without
	  repartitioning your hard drive (which often implies backing
	  everything up and restoring afterwards); the disadvantage is that
	  Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and that UMSDOS is somewhat
	  slower than ext2fs. Even if you want to run Linux in this fashion,
	  it might be a good idea to have ext2fs around: it enables you to
	  read more floppy disks and facilitates the transition to a *real*
	  Linux partition later. Another (rare) case which doesn't require
	  ext2fs is a diskless Linux box which mounts all files over the
	  network using NFS (in this case it's sufficient to say Y to "NFS
	  file system support" below). Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel
	  by about 44 KB.

	  The Ext2fs-Undeletion mini-HOWTO, available from
29
	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, gives information about
30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45
	  how to retrieve deleted files on ext2fs file systems.

	  To change the behavior of ext2 file systems, you can use the tune2fs
	  utility ("man tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and
	  directories on ext2 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr").

	  Ext2fs partitions can be read from within DOS using the ext2tool
	  command line tool package (available from
	  <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/ext2/>) and from
	  within Windows NT using the ext2nt command line tool package from
	  <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/dos/>.  Explore2fs is a
	  graphical explorer for ext2fs partitions which runs on Windows 95
	  and Windows NT and includes experimental write support; it is
	  available from
	  <http://jnewbigin-pc.it.swin.edu.au/Linux/Explore2fs.htm>.

config EXT3_FS
	tristate "Ext3 journalling file system support"
	help
	  This is the journaling 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 journaling 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
	  e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
	  (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

	  Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
	  tree.  Uses journaling.

	  Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
	  architectural foundations.

	  In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
	  large directories and small files.  Additional patches are needed
	  for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.reiserfs.org/> for links.

	  It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
	  database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
	  systems are.  The next version will be so extended, and will support
	  plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
	  make source code open.''

	  diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
	  files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all

	  This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
	  the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
	  M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
	  order to make use of it.

	  Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
	  partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the

	  It is now also becoming possible to read and write compressed FAT

	  version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.

	  It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
	  information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
	  (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
	  that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
	  often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured

	  Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
	  meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
	  That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
	  /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.

config CIFS
	tristate "CIFS support (advanced network filesystem for Samba, Window and other CIFS compliant servers)(EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on INET
	help
	  This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
	  (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block 
	  (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
	  PC operating systems.  CIFS is fully supported by current network
	  file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows NT version 4 
	  and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
	  server support for Linux and many other operating systems).  For
	  production systems the smbfs module may be used instead of this
	  cifs module since smbfs is currently more stable and provides
	  support for older servers.  The intent of this module is to provide the
	  most advanced network file system function for CIFS compliant servers, 
1436
	  including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
1437 1438 1439 1440 1441 1442
	  session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
	  packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements, and
	  optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration.  This module is in an early
	  development stage, so unless you are specifically interested in this
	  filesystem, just say N.

	  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
1453
	  the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1454 1455 1456 1457 1458 1459 1460

	  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

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/>.

1485 1486
	  To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called coda.

	  InterMezzo is a networked file system with disconnected operation
	  and kernel level write back caching.  It is most often used for
	  replicating potentially large trees or keeping laptop/desktop copies
	  in sync.

	  If you say Y or M your kernel or module will provide InterMezzo
	  support.  You will also need a file server daemon, which you can get
	  from <http://www.inter-mezzo.org/>.
