Matt LaPlantecc2e2762006-10-03 22:22:29 +020077 This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070078 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
79 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
80
Matt LaPlantecc2e2762006-10-03 22:22:29 +020081 The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070082 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
83 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
84 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
85 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
86
87 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
88 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
89 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
90 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
91 system.
92
93 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
94 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
95 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
96 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using

Mingming Cao02ea2102006-10-11 01:20:56 -0700148 Ext4dev is a predecessor filesystem of the next generation
149 extended fs ext4, based on ext3 filesystem code. It will be
150 renamed ext4 fs later, once ext4dev is mature and stabilized.
151
Mingming Caodab291a2006-10-11 01:21:01 -0700152 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
153 the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
Mingming Cao02ea2102006-10-11 01:20:56 -0700154 it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
Mingming Caodab291a2006-10-11 01:21:01 -0700155 numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow
Mingming Cao02ea2102006-10-11 01:20:56 -0700156 ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
157 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the

474 Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's.
475 The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk
476 partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux,
477 but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.
478 You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk
479 because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found
480 on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel

964 The sysfs filesystem is a virtual filesystem that the kernel uses to
965 export internal kernel objects, their attributes, and their
966 relationships to one another.
967
968 Users can use sysfs to ascertain useful information about the running
969 kernel, such as the devices the kernel has discovered on each bus and
970 which driver each is bound to. sysfs can also be used to tune devices
971 and other kernel subsystems.
972
973 Some system agents rely on the information in sysfs to operate.
974 /sbin/hotplug uses device and object attributes in sysfs to assist in
975 delegating policy decisions, like persistantly naming devices.
976
977 sysfs is currently used by the block subsystem to mount the root
978 partition. If sysfs is disabled you must specify the boot device on

1875 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS

1882 network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
1883 including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
1884 session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
