- select JBD
- 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/>).
- To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the

- Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
- the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
- <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
- extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
- to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
- user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
- prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
- (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
- this time.
- If unsure, say N.
- config CIFS_POSIX
- bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
- depends on CIFS_XATTR
- help
- 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_EXPERIMENTAL
- bool "CIFS Experimental Features (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on CIFS && EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- Enables cifs features under testing. These features are
- experimental and currently include support for writepages
- (multipage writebehind performance improvements) and directory
- change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY) as well as some security
- improvements. Some also depend on setting at runtime the
- pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental (which is disabled by
- default). See the file fs/cifs/README for more details.
- If unsure, say N.
- config CIFS_UPCALL
- bool "CIFS Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
- select CONNECTOR
- help
- Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which will be used to contact
- userspace helper utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged Kerberos
- tickets which are needed to mount to certain secure servers
- (for which more secure Kerberos authentication is required). If
- unsure, say N.
- config NCP_FS
- tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
- 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"
- depends on CODA_FS
- 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.

- select RXRPC
- help
- If you say Y here, you will get an experimental Andrew File System
- driver. It currently only supports unsecured read-only AFS access.
