Matt LaPlantecc2e2762006-10-03 22:22:29 +020075 This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070076 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
77 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
78
Matt LaPlantecc2e2762006-10-03 22:22:29 +020079 The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070080 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

146 extended fs ext4, based on ext3 filesystem code. It will be

Mingming Caodab291a2006-10-11 01:21:01 -0700149 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,

154 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the

869 The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
870 changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
871 renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
872 so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
873 be written to.
874
875 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
876 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
877 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
878
879 Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
880 scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
881 write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
882 is not safe.
883
884 This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run
885 on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
886 hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
887 need its own partition. For more information see

901 This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
902 of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
903 your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
904 you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
905 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
906
907 It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
908 information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
909 (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
910 that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
911 often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured
912 to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
913 information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.
914
915 Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
916 meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
917 That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
918 /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001670 help
1671 This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
1672 in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag. When O_DIRECT
1673 is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
1674 cache. Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
1675 directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
1676 no alignment restrictions.
1677
1678 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
1679 much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for
1680 you. Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network
1681 storms. This kernel build option defaults OFF to avoid exposing
1682 system administrators unwittingly to a potentially hazardous
1683 feature.
1684
1685 For more details on NFS O_DIRECT, see fs/nfs/direct.c.
1686
1687 If unsure, say N. This reduces the size of the NFS client, and

1706 If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other
1707 computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain
1708 directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can
1709 use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you
1710 should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS
1711 server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is
1712 faster.

2062 depends on IPX!=n || INET
2063 help
2064 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
2065 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
2066 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
2067 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
2068 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
2069 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
2070 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2071
2072 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
2073 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

2085 depends on INET
2086 help
2087 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
2088 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
2089 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
2090 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
2091 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
2092 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
2093 persistent client caches and write back caching.
2094
2095 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
2096 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
2097 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
2098 no kernel support. Please read
2099 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
2100 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.

2102 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
2103 module will be called coda.

2109 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
2110 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
2111 new realms implementation.
2112
2113 However this new API is not backward compatible with older
2114 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
2115 cache manager then say Y.
