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,

154 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the

875 The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
876 changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
877 renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
878 so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
879 be written to.
880
881 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
882 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
883 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
884
885 Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
886 scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
887 write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
888 is not safe.
889
890 This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run
891 on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
892 hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
893 need its own partition. For more information see

907 This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
908 of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
909 your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
910 you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
911 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
912
913 It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
914 information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
915 (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
916 that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
917 often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured
918 to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
919 information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.

921 Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
922 meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.

924 /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.

1680 If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other
1681 computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain
1682 directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can
1683 use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you
1684 should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS
1685 server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is
1686 faster.
1687
1688 In either case, you will need support software; the respective
1689 locations are given in the file <file:Documentation/Changes> in the
1690 NFS section.
1691
1692 If you say Y here, you will get support for version 2 of the NFS
1693 protocol (NFSv2). If you also want NFSv3, say Y to the next question
1694 as well.

2063 help
2064 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
2065 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
2066 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
2067 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
2068 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
2069 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
2070 persistent client caches and write back caching.
2071
2072 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
2073 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
2074 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
2075 no kernel support. Please read
2076 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
2077 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
2078
2079 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
2080 module will be called coda.

2084 depends on CODA_FS
2085 help
2086 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
2087 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
2088 new realms implementation.
2089
2090 However this new API is not backward compatible with older
2091 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
2092 cache manager then say Y.
