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
95 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals

Mingming Cao02ea2102006-10-11 01:20:56 -0700144 Ext4dev is a predecessor filesystem of the next generation

Mingming Caodab291a2006-10-11 01:21:01 -0700148 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,

Mingming Cao02ea2102006-10-11 01:20:56 -0700152 ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
153 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the

1637 This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
1638 in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag. When O_DIRECT

1644 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are

1811 SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
1812 (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
1813 files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to
1814 mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
1815 access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this
1816 works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
1817 transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read
1818 <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
1819 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1820
1821 Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
1822 files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
1823 to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
1824 the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
1825 for that.

1867 This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
1868 (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
1869 (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
1870 PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
1871 file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
1872 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
Steve Frenchec58ef02005-11-04 09:44:33 -08001873 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
1874 support for Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well.
1875 You must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
1876 such as OS/2 and DOS.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001877
1878 The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
1879 network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
1880 including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
1881 session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
1882 packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
1883 and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
1884 cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
1885 smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
1886 and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need

1914 Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
1915 (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
1916 security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
1917 than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the

1920 Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
1921 LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
1922 mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
1923 security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you

1925 network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
1926 is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used
