config EXT3_FS
tristate "Ext3 journalling file system support"
select JBD
help
This is the journalling 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 journalling 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/>).

config EXT4_FS
tristate "The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem"
select JBD2
select CRC16
help
This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from
the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best
performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the
filesystem, or formating a new filesystem as an ext4
filesystem initially.
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
module will be called ext4dev.
If unsure, say N.

Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
architectural foundations.
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.''

NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but
safe, write support available. For write support you must also
say Y to "NTFS write support" below.
There are also a number of user-space tools available, called
ntfsprogs. These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work
without NTFS support enabled in the kernel.
This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced
the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to
the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch
from the project web site.
For more information see <file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt>
and <http://www.linux-ntfs.org/>.

help
If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say
Y here. This will result in additional consistency checks to be
performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to
be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are
disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1
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
overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant
slowdown of the system.
When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of
debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring.
config NTFS_RW
bool "NTFS write support"
depends on NTFS_FS
help
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
hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
need its own partition. For more information see

The sysfs filesystem is a virtual filesystem that the kernel uses to
export internal kernel objects, their attributes, and their
relationships to one another.
Users can use sysfs to ascertain useful information about the running
kernel, such as the devices the kernel has discovered on each bus and
which driver each is bound to. sysfs can also be used to tune devices
and other kernel subsystems.
Some system agents rely on the information in sysfs to operate.
/sbin/hotplug uses device and object attributes in sysfs to assist in
delegating policy decisions, like persistently naming devices.
sysfs is currently used by the block subsystem to mount the root
partition. If sysfs is disabled you must specify the boot device on
the kernel boot command line via its major and minor numbers. For
example, "root=03:01" for /dev/hda1.

Choose Y here if you want to allow other computers to access
files residing on this system using Sun's Network File System
protocol. To compile the NFS server support as a module,
choose M here: the module will be called nfsd.
You may choose to use a user-space NFS server instead, in which
case you can choose N here.
To export local file systems using NFS, you also need to install
user space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils
package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. More detail about
the Linux NFS server implementation is available via the
exports(5) man page.
Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are

config NFSD_V3_ACL
bool "NFS server support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension"
depends on NFSD_V3
select NFSD_V2_ACL
help
Solaris NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that
never became an official part of the NFS version 3 protocol.
This protocol extension allows applications on NFS clients to
manipulate POSIX Access Control Lists on files residing on NFS
servers. NFS servers enforce POSIX ACLs on local files whether
this protocol is available or not.
This option enables support in your system's NFS server for the
NFSv3 ACL protocol extension allowing NFS clients to manipulate
POSIX ACLs on files exported by your system's NFS server. NFS
clients which support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol can then
access and modify ACLs on your NFS server.
To store ACLs on your NFS server, you also need to enable ACL-
related CONFIG options for your local file systems of choice.

select NLS
help
SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
(WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
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>.
To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called smbfs. Most people say N, however.
config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
bool "Use a default NLS"
depends on SMB_FS
help
Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You
need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls
settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.
The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.
config SMB_NLS_REMOTE
string "Default Remote NLS Option"
depends on SMB_NLS_DEFAULT

This setting allows you to specify a default value for which
codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no
translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset
default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount

smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.
config CIFS
tristate "CIFS support (advanced network filesystem, SMBFS successor)"
depends on INET
select NLS
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 OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
well.
The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
config CIFS_STATS
bool "CIFS statistics"
depends on CIFS
help
Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
config CIFS_STATS2
bool "Extended statistics"
depends on CIFS_STATS
help
Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
and memory utilization.
Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
or tuning, say N.
config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
depends on CIFS
help
Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
(since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
can be set to required (or optional) either in
/proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
attack.
If unsure, say N.
config CIFS_UPCALL
bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup"
depends on CIFS && KEYS
help
Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which accesses
userspace helper utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged (RFC 4178)
Kerberos tickets which are needed to mount to certain secure servers
(for which more secure Kerberos authentication is required). If
unsure, say N.
config CIFS_XATTR
bool "CIFS extended attributes"
depends on CIFS
help
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
this time.
If unsure, say N.
config CIFS_POSIX
bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
depends on CIFS_XATTR
help
Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
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
support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
(such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
config CIFS_DEBUG2
bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"
depends on CIFS
help
Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
option can be turned off unless you are debugging
cifs problems. If unsure, say N.
config CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
bool "CIFS Experimental Features (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on CIFS && EXPERIMENTAL
help
Enables cifs features under testing. These features are
experimental and currently include DFS support and directory
change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY), as well as the upcall
mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation
and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on
setting a value of 1 to the pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental
(which is disabled by default). See the file fs/cifs/README
for more details. If unsure, say N.
config CIFS_DFS_UPCALL
bool "DFS feature support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL

help
Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which contacts userspace
helper utilities to provide server name resolution (host names to
IP addresses) which is needed for implicit mounts of DFS junction
points. If unsure, say N.
config NCP_FS
tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
depends on IPX!=n || INET
help
NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
<file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

config CODA_FS
tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)"
depends on INET
help
Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
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
<file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
