- 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

- be compiled as a module, and so this may be dangerous.

- help
- SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
- (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
- files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to
- mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
- access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this
- works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
- transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read
- <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
- available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
- Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
- files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
- to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
- the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
- for that.
- General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
- Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

- settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
- CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.
- The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
- supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.

- depends on INET
- select NLS
- 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. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
- file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
- and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
- server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
- support for Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well.
- You must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
- such as OS/2 and DOS.
- The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
- network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
- including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
- session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
- packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
- and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
- cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
- smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
- and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need
- to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
- config CIFS_STATS

- help
- Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
- request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
- allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
- value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
- These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
- and memory utilization.
- Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis

- config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
- bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
- depends on CIFS
- help
- Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
- (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
- security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
- than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
- SMB protocol needed to establish sessions with old SMB servers.
- Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
- LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
- mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
- security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
- have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
- network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
- is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used
- automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
- can be set to required (or optional) either in
- /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
- option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
- default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
- attack.

- 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_DEBUG2
- bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"
- depends on CIFS
- help
- Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
- to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of

- cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

- 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

- 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
