  58. This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
  59. (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
  60. (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
  61. The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
  62. to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
  63. crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
  64. at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
  65. is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
  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. To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
  72. behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
  73. tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
  74. file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
  75. e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
  76. (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

  1014. help
  1015. BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
  1016. OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
  1017. Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
  1018. this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
  1019. these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
  1020. experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
  1021. file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information.
  1022. The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
  1023. READ-ONLY supported.
  1024. If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
  1025. network using NFS, you don't need the UFS file system support (but
  1026. you need NFS file system support obviously).
  1027. Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
  1028. good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
  1029. (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
  1030. tar" or preferably "info tar").
  1031. When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
  1032. NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
  1033. recode ("info recode") for this purpose.
  1034. To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the
  1035. module will be called ufs.
