config EXT3_FS

	help
	  This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
	  (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
	  (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.

	  The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
	  to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
	  crash.  The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
	  at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
	  is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.

	  Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
	  of ext3 is identical to ext2.  It is possible to freely switch
	  between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
	  file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
	  system.

	  To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
	  behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
	  tune2fs").  To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
	  file systems, use chattr ("man chattr").  You need to be using
	  e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
	  (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called ext3.  Be aware however that the file system
	  of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot

	  In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
	  large directories and small files.  Additional patches are needed
	  for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.

	  It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
	  database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
	  systems are.  The next version will be so extended, and will support
	  plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
	  make source code open.''

	  Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's.
	  The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk

	  but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.
	  You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk
	  because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found
	  on older Linux floppy disks.  This option will enlarge your kernel
	  by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N.

	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the

	  To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs
	  package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
	  You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.

	  If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more

	  diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
	  files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all

	  This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
	  the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
	  M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
	  order to make use of it.

	  Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
	  partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
	  mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
	  order to do that.

	  If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
	  Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
	  file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program

	  If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say

	  at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option
	  to insmod when loading the ntfs module.  Once the driver is active,
	  you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
	  echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
	  Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.

	  If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little

	  This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.

	  The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
	  changing the file length.  No file or directory creation, deletion or
	  renaming is possible.  Note only non-resident files can be written to
	  so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
	  be written to.

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

	  Note:  While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
	  scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
	  write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
	  is not safe.

	  This is currently useful with TopologiLinux.  TopologiLinux is run
	  on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your

	  file system over NFS at boot time, say Y here and to "Kernel
	  level IP autoconfiguration" above and to "Root file system on NFS"
	  below. You cannot compile this driver as a module in this case.
	  There are two packages designed for booting diskless machines over
	  the net: netboot, available from

config NFS_DIRECTIO
	bool "Allow direct I/O on NFS files (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on NFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
	help
	  This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
	  in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag.  When O_DIRECT
	  is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
	  cache.  Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
	  directly.  Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
	  no alignment restrictions.

	  Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
	  much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for
	  you.  Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network
	  storms.  This kernel build option defaults OFF to avoid exposing
	  system administrators unwittingly to a potentially hazardous
	  feature.

	  For more details on NFS O_DIRECT, see fs/nfs/direct.c.

	  If unsure, say N.  This reduces the size of the NFS client, and
	  causes open() to return EINVAL if a file residing in NFS is
	  opened with the O_DIRECT flag.

	  SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups

	  files and printers over local networks.  Saying Y here allows you to
	  mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
	  access them just like any other Unix directory.  Currently, this
	  works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
	  transport protocol, and not NetBEUI.  For details, read
	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
	  available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

	  Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
	  files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
	  to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
	  the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
	  for that.

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

config CIFS

	help
	  This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
	  (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block 
	  (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
	  PC operating systems.  The CIFS protocol is fully supported by 
	  file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4  
	  and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
	  server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
	  support for Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well. 
	  You must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
	  such as OS/2 and DOS.

	  The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
	  network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers, 
	  including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
	  session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
	  packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements, 
	  and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
	  cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
	  smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
	  and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need 
	  to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.

config CIFS_STATS

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

	  negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
	  or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
	  than Windows like) file behavior.  It also enables

	  with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
	  disk.  Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
	  disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
	  replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
	  persistent client caches and write back caching.

	  If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
	  *client*.  You will need user level code as well, both for the
	  client and server.  Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
	  no kernel support.  Please read
