75 This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
76 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
77 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
78
79 The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
80 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
81 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
82 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
83 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
84
85 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
86 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
87 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
88 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
89 system.
90
91 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
92 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
93 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
94 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
95 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
96 (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

499 The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
500 on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
501 overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
502 automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
503
504 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
505 <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/>; you also
506 want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
507
508 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
509 called autofs4. You will need to add "alias autofs autofs4" to your
510 modules configuration file.

512 If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or
513 don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the
514 local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say

1476 help
1477 This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
1478 in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag. When O_DIRECT
1479 is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
1480 cache. Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
1481 directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
1482 no alignment restrictions.
1483
1484 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
1485 much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for
1486 you. Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network
1487 storms. This kernel build option defaults OFF to avoid exposing
1488 system administrators unwittingly to a potentially hazardous
1489 feature.
1490
1491 For more details on NFS O_DIRECT, see fs/nfs/direct.c.
1492
1493 If unsure, say N. This reduces the size of the NFS client, and
1494 causes open() to return EINVAL if a file residing in NFS is
1495 opened with the O_DIRECT flag.

1511 computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain

1513 use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you

1515 server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is
