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

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

1838 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
1839 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
1840 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
1841 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
1842 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
1843 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
1844 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
1845 (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
1846 this time.

1855 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5

1901 help
1902 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
1903 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
1904 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
1905 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
1906 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
1907 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
1908 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

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