| help | |
| 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 | |
| with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard | |
| disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for | |
| disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server | |
| 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 | |
| *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the | |
| client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need | |
| no kernel support. Please read | |
| <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda | |
| home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>. | |
| To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the | |
| module will be called coda. |
