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,

Mingming Cao02ea2102006-10-11 01:20:56 -0700153 ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
154 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the

874 This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
875 of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
876 your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
877 you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
878 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
879
880 It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
881 information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
882 (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
883 that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
884 often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured
885 to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
886 information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.
887
888 Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
889 meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
890 That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
891 /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.
892
893 The /proc file system is explained in the file
894 <file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage
895 ("man 5 proc").

1679 If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other
1680 computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain
1681 directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can
1682 use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you
1683 should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS
1684 server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is
1685 faster.
1686
1687 In either case, you will need support software; the respective
1688 locations are given in the file <file:Documentation/Changes> in the
1689 NFS section.
1690
1691 If you say Y here, you will get support for version 2 of the NFS
1692 protocol (NFSv2). If you also want NFSv3, say Y to the next question
1693 as well.
1694
1695 Please read the NFS-HOWTO, available from
1696 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1697
1698 To compile the NFS server support as a module, choose M here: the
1699 module will be called nfsd. If unsure, say N.

2037 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
2038 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
2039 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
2040 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
2041 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
2042 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
2043 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2044
2045 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
2046 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

2048 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
2049 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

2059 help
2060 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
2061 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
2062 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
2063 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
2064 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
2065 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
2066 persistent client caches and write back caching.
2067
2068 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
2069 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
2070 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
2071 no kernel support. Please read
2072 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
2073 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
2074
2075 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
2076 module will be called coda.

2081 help
2082 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
2083 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
2084 new realms implementation.
2085
2086 However this new API is not backward compatible with older
2087 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
2088 cache manager then say Y.
