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.

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

774 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
775 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
776 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.

1412 BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
1413 OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
1414 Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
1415 this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from

1900 help
1901 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
1902 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
1903 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
1904 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
1905 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
1906 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
1907 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1910 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

1923 help
1924 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
1925 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
1926 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
1927 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
1928 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
1929 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
1930 persistent client caches and write back caching.
1931
1932 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
1933 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
1934 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
1935 no kernel support. Please read
1936 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
1937 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
