  60. This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
  61. (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
  62. (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
  63. The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
  64. to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
  65. crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
  66. at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
  67. is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
  68. Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
  69. of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
  70. between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
  71. file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
  72. system.
  73. To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
  74. behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
  75. tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
  76. file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
  77. e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
  78. (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
  79. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
  80. module will be called ext3. Be aware however that the file system
  81. of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot

  1412. (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
  1413. (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
  1414. PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
  1415. file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
  1416. and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
  1417. server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
  1418. support for Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well.
  1419. You must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
  1420. such as OS/2 and DOS.
  1421. The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
  1422. network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
  1423. including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
  1424. session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
  1425. packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
  1426. and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
  1427. cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
  1428. smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
  1429. and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need
  1430. to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
  1431. config CIFS_STATS
  1432. bool "CIFS statistics"
  1433. depends on CIFS
  1434. help
  1435. Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
  1436. mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
  1437. config CIFS_STATS2
  1438. bool "Extended statistics"
  1439. depends on CIFS_STATS
  1440. help
  1441. Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
  1442. request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
  1443. allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
  1444. value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
  1445. These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
  1446. and memory utilization.
  1447. Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
  1448. or tuning, say N.
  1449. config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
  1450. bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
  1451. depends on CIFS
  1452. help
  1453. Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
  1454. (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
  1455. security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
  1456. than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
  1457. SMB protocol needed to establish sessions with old SMB servers.
  1458. Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
  1459. LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
  1460. mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
  1461. security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
  1462. have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
  1463. network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
  1464. is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used
  1465. automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
  1466. can be set to required (or optional) either in
  1467. /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
  1468. option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
  1469. default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
  1470. attack.
  1471. If unsure, say N.
  1472. config CIFS_XATTR

  1475. help
  1476. Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
  1477. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
  1478. <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
  1479. extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
  1480. to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
  1481. user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
  1482. prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
  1483. (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
  1484. this time.
  1485. If unsure, say N.
  1486. config CIFS_POSIX
  1487. bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
  1488. depends on CIFS_XATTR
  1489. help
  1490. Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
  1491. negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
  1492. or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
  1493. than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
  1494. support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
  1495. (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
  1496. CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.

  1500. help
  1501. Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
  1502. to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
  1503. the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
  1504. messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
  1505. option can be turned off unless you are debugging
  1506. cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

  1511. Enables cifs features under testing. These features are
  1512. experimental and currently include support for writepages
  1513. (multipage writebehind performance improvements) and directory
  1514. change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY) as well as some security
  1515. improvements. Some also depend on setting at runtime the
  1516. pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental (which is disabled by

  1532. help
  1533. NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
  1534. used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
  1535. IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
  1536. to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
  1537. any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
  1538. <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
  1539. the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1540. You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
  1541. file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
  1542. General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
  1543. Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

  1549. depends on INET
  1550. help
  1551. Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
  1552. enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
  1553. with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
  1554. disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
  1555. disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
  1556. replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
  1557. persistent client caches and write back caching.
  1558. If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
  1559. *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
  1560. client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
  1561. no kernel support. Please read
  1562. <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
  1563. home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.

  1570. A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
  1571. to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
  1572. new realms implementation.
  1573. However this new API is not backward compatible with older
  1574. clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
