  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

  1415. Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
  1416. request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
  1417. allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
  1418. value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
  1419. These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
  1420. and memory utilization.

  1422. or tuning, say N.
  1423. config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH

  1425. depends on CIFS
  1426. help
  1427. Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
  1428. (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
  1429. security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
  1430. than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
  1431. SMB protocol needed to establish sessions with old SMB servers.
  1432. Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
  1433. LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
  1434. mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
  1435. security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
  1436. have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
  1437. network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
  1438. is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used
  1439. automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
  1440. can be set to required (or optional) either in
  1441. /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
  1442. option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
  1443. default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
  1444. attack.

  1451. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
  1452. <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
  1453. extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
  1454. to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
  1455. user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
  1456. prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
  1457. (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
  1458. this time.

  1461. bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"

  1464. Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
  1465. negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
  1466. or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
  1467. than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
  1468. support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
  1469. (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
  1470. CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
  1471. config CIFS_DEBUG2
  1472. bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"
  1473. help
  1474. Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
  1475. to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
  1476. the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
  1477. messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
  1478. option can be turned off unless you are debugging
  1479. cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

  1486. (multipage writebehind performance improvements) and directory
  1487. change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY) as well as some security
  1488. improvements. Some also depend on setting at runtime the

  1505. help
  1506. NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
  1507. used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
  1508. IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
  1509. to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
  1510. any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
  1511. <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
  1512. the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1513. You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
  1514. file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
  1515. General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
  1516. Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

  1522. depends on INET
  1523. help
  1524. Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
  1525. enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
  1526. with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
  1527. disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
  1528. disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
  1529. replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
  1530. persistent client caches and write back caching.
  1531. If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
  1532. *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
  1533. client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
  1534. no kernel support. Please read
  1535. <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
  1536. home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
  1537. To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
  1538. module will be called coda.

  1543. A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
  1544. to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
  1545. new realms implementation.
  1546. However this new API is not backward compatible with older
  1547. clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
