| 56 | This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system |
| 57 | (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system |
| 58 | (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have |
| 61 | to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a |
| 62 | crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made |
| 63 | at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system |
| 64 | is consistent without the need for a lengthy check. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format |
| 67 | of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch |
| 68 | between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the |
| 69 | file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file |
| 70 | system. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the |
| 73 | behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man |
| 74 | tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3 |
| 75 | file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using |
| 76 | e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals |

| 1369 | If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other |
| 1370 | computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain |
| 1371 | directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can |
| 1372 | use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you |
| 1373 | should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS |
| 1374 | server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is |
| 1375 | faster. |
| 1376 | |
| 1377 | In either case, you will need support software; the respective |
| 1378 | locations are given in the file <file:Documentation/Changes> in the |
| 1379 | NFS section. |
