2 # File system configuration
10 tristate "Second extended fs support"
12 Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks.
14 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
15 module will be called ext2.
20 bool "Ext2 extended attributes"
23 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
24 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
25 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
29 config EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL
30 bool "Ext2 POSIX Access Control Lists"
31 depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR
34 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
35 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
37 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
38 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
40 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
42 config EXT2_FS_SECURITY
43 bool "Ext2 Security Labels"
44 depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR
46 Security labels support alternative access control models
47 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
48 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
49 labels in the ext2 filesystem.
51 If you are not using a security module that requires using
52 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
55 bool "Ext2 execute in place support"
56 depends on EXT2_FS && MMU
58 Execute in place can be used on memory-backed block devices. If you
59 enable this option, you can select to mount block devices which are
60 capable of this feature without using the page cache.
62 If you do not use a block device that is capable of using this,
68 depends on EXT2_FS_XIP
72 tristate "Ext3 journalling file system support"
75 This is the journalling version of the Second extended file system
76 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
77 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
79 The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have
80 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.
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
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
95 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
96 (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
98 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
99 module will be called ext3.
102 bool "Ext3 extended attributes"
106 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
107 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
108 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
112 You need this for POSIX ACL support on ext3.
114 config EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL
115 bool "Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists"
116 depends on EXT3_FS_XATTR
119 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
120 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
122 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
123 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
125 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
127 config EXT3_FS_SECURITY
128 bool "Ext3 Security Labels"
129 depends on EXT3_FS_XATTR
131 Security labels support alternative access control models
132 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
133 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
134 labels in the ext3 filesystem.
136 If you are not using a security module that requires using
137 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
140 tristate "The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem"
144 This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
146 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
147 the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
148 ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
149 physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
150 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
151 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
152 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
153 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
155 The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
156 filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from
157 the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best
158 performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the
159 filesystem, or formating a new filesystem as an ext4
160 filesystem initially.
162 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
163 module will be called ext4.
167 config EXT4DEV_COMPAT
168 bool "Enable ext4dev compatibility"
171 Starting with 2.6.28, the name of the ext4 filesystem was
172 renamed from ext4dev to ext4. Unfortunately there are some
173 legacy userspace programs (such as klibc's fstype) have
176 To enable backwards compatibility so that systems that are
177 still expecting to mount ext4 filesystems using ext4dev,
178 chose Y here. This feature will go away by 2.6.31, so
179 please arrange to get your userspace programs fixed!
182 bool "Ext4 extended attributes"
186 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
187 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
188 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
192 You need this for POSIX ACL support on ext4.
194 config EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL
195 bool "Ext4 POSIX Access Control Lists"
196 depends on EXT4_FS_XATTR
199 POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
200 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
202 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
203 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
205 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
207 config EXT4_FS_SECURITY
208 bool "Ext4 Security Labels"
209 depends on EXT4_FS_XATTR
211 Security labels support alternative access control models
212 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
213 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
214 labels in the ext4 filesystem.
216 If you are not using a security module that requires using
217 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
222 This is a generic journalling layer for block devices. It is
223 currently used by the ext3 file system, but it could also be
224 used to add journal support to other file systems or block
225 devices such as RAID or LVM.
227 If you are using the ext3 file system, you need to say Y here.
228 If you are not using ext3 then you will probably want to say N.
230 To compile this device as a module, choose M here: the module will be
231 called jbd. If you are compiling ext3 into the kernel, you
232 cannot compile this code as a module.
235 bool "JBD (ext3) debugging support"
236 depends on JBD && DEBUG_FS
238 If you are using the ext3 journaled file system (or potentially any
239 other file system/device using JBD), this option allows you to
240 enable debugging output while the system is running, in order to
241 help track down any problems you are having. By default the
242 debugging output will be turned off.
244 If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
245 with "echo N > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug", where N is a
246 number between 1 and 5, the higher the number, the more debugging
247 output is generated. To turn debugging off again, do
248 "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug".
254 This is a generic journaling layer for block devices that support
255 both 32-bit and 64-bit block numbers. It is currently used by
256 the ext4 and OCFS2 filesystems, but it could also be used to add
257 journal support to other file systems or block devices such
260 If you are using ext4 or OCFS2, you need to say Y here.
261 If you are not using ext4 or OCFS2 then you will
262 probably want to say N.
264 To compile this device as a module, choose M here. The module will be
265 called jbd2. If you are compiling ext4 or OCFS2 into the kernel,
266 you cannot compile this code as a module.
269 bool "JBD2 (ext4) debugging support"
270 depends on JBD2 && DEBUG_FS
272 If you are using the ext4 journaled file system (or
273 potentially any other filesystem/device using JBD2), this option
274 allows you to enable debugging output while the system is running,
275 in order to help track down any problems you are having.
276 By default, the debugging output will be turned off.
278 If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
279 with "echo N > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd2/jbd2-debug", where N is a
280 number between 1 and 5. The higher the number, the more debugging
281 output is generated. To turn debugging off again, do
282 "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd2/jbd2-debug".

292 tristate "Reiserfs support"
294 Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
295 tree. Uses journalling.
297 Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
298 architectural foundations.
300 In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
301 large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed
302 for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.
304 It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
305 database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
306 systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support
307 plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
308 make source code open.''
310 Read <http://www.namesys.com/> to learn more about reiserfs.
312 Sponsored by Threshold Networks, Emusic.com, and Bigstorage.com.
314 If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you
315 need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS.
317 config REISERFS_CHECK
318 bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode"
319 depends on REISERFS_FS
321 If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can
322 possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its
323 operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we
324 have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the
325 latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all
326 out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its
327 effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug
328 report, say Y and you might get a useful error message. Almost
329 everyone should say N.
331 config REISERFS_PROC_INFO
332 bool "Stats in /proc/fs/reiserfs"
333 depends on REISERFS_FS && PROC_FS
335 Create under /proc/fs/reiserfs a hierarchy of files, displaying
336 various ReiserFS statistics and internal data at the expense of
337 making your kernel or module slightly larger (+8 KB). This also
338 increases the amount of kernel memory required for each mount.
339 Almost everyone but ReiserFS developers and people fine-tuning
340 reiserfs or tracing problems should say N.
342 config REISERFS_FS_XATTR
343 bool "ReiserFS extended attributes"
344 depends on REISERFS_FS
346 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

371 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
372 labels in the ReiserFS filesystem.
374 If you are not using a security module that requires using
375 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
378 tristate "JFS filesystem support"
381 This is a port of IBM's Journaled Filesystem . More information is
382 available in the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/jfs.txt>.
384 If you do not intend to use the JFS filesystem, say N.
387 bool "JFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
391 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
392 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
394 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
395 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
397 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
400 bool "JFS Security Labels"
403 Security labels support alternative access control models
404 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
405 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
406 labels in the jfs filesystem.
408 If you are not using a security module that requires using
409 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
415 If you are experiencing any problems with the JFS filesystem, say
416 Y here. This will result in additional debugging messages to be
417 written to the system log. Under normal circumstances, this
418 results in very little overhead.
420 config JFS_STATISTICS
421 bool "JFS statistics"
424 Enabling this option will cause statistics from the JFS file system
425 to be made available to the user in the /proc/fs/jfs/ directory.
428 # Posix ACL utility routines (for now, only ext2/ext3/jfs/reiserfs/nfs4)
430 # NOTE: you can implement Posix ACLs without these helpers (XFS does).
431 # Never use this symbol for ifdefs.
437 bool "Enable POSIX file locking API" if EMBEDDED
440 This option enables standard file locking support, required
441 for filesystems like NFS and for the flock() system
442 call. Disabling this option saves about 11k.

449 depends on NET && SYSFS
454 OCFS2 is a general purpose extent based shared disk cluster file
455 system with many similarities to ext3. It supports 64 bit inode
456 numbers, and has automatically extending metadata groups which may
457 also make it attractive for non-clustered use.

470 tristate "O2CB Kernelspace Clustering"
474 OCFS2 includes a simple kernelspace clustering package, the OCFS2
475 Cluster Base. It only requires a very small userspace component
476 to configure it. This comes with the standard ocfs2-tools package.
477 O2CB is limited to maintaining a cluster for OCFS2 file systems.
478 It cannot manage any other cluster applications.
480 It is always safe to say Y here, as the clustering method is
483 config OCFS2_FS_USERSPACE_CLUSTER
484 tristate "OCFS2 Userspace Clustering"
485 depends on OCFS2_FS && DLM
488 This option will allow OCFS2 to use userspace clustering services
489 in conjunction with the DLM in fs/dlm. If you are using a
490 userspace cluster manager, say Y here.
492 It is safe to say Y, as the clustering method is run-time
495 config OCFS2_FS_STATS
496 bool "OCFS2 statistics"
500 This option allows some fs statistics to be captured. Enabling
501 this option may increase the memory consumption.
503 config OCFS2_DEBUG_MASKLOG
504 bool "OCFS2 logging support"
508 The ocfs2 filesystem has an extensive logging system. The system
509 allows selection of events to log via files in /sys/o2cb/logmask/.
510 This option will enlarge your kernel, but it allows debugging of
511 ocfs2 filesystem issues.
513 config OCFS2_DEBUG_FS
514 bool "OCFS2 expensive checks"
518 This option will enable expensive consistency checks. Enable
519 this option for debugging only as it is likely to decrease
520 performance of the filesystem.
522 config OCFS2_COMPAT_JBD
523 bool "Use JBD for compatibility"
528 The ocfs2 filesystem now uses JBD2 for its journalling. JBD2
529 is backwards compatible with JBD. It is safe to say N here.
530 However, if you really want to use the original JBD, say Y here.
535 bool "Dnotify support"
538 Dnotify is a directory-based per-fd file change notification system
539 that uses signals to communicate events to user-space. There exist
540 superior alternatives, but some applications may still rely on
546 bool "Inotify file change notification support"
549 Say Y here to enable inotify support. Inotify is a file change
550 notification system and a replacement for dnotify. Inotify fixes
551 numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several new features
552 including multiple file events, one-shot support, and unmount
555 For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt>
560 bool "Inotify support for userspace"
564 Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the
565 associated system calls. Inotify allows monitoring of both files and
566 directories via a single open fd. Events are read from the file
567 descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able.
569 For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt>
576 If you say Y here, you will be able to set per user limits for disk
577 usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works for the
578 ext2, ext3, and reiserfs file system. ext3 also supports journalled
579 quotas for which you don't need to run quotacheck(8) after an unclean
581 For further details, read the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from
582 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or the documentation provided
583 with the quota tools. Probably the quota support is only useful for
584 multi user systems. If unsure, say N.

595 bool "Print quota warnings to console (OBSOLETE)"
599 If you say Y here, quota warnings (about exceeding softlimit, reaching
600 hardlimit, etc.) will be printed to the process' controlling terminal.
601 Note that this behavior is currently deprecated and may go away in
602 future. Please use notification via netlink socket instead.

625 tristate "Kernel automounter support"
627 The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
628 on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
629 overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
630 automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
632 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs
633 package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
634 You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
636 If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more
637 features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support",

649 The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
650 on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
651 overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
652 automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
654 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from

656 want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
658 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
659 called autofs4. You will need to add "alias autofs autofs4" to your
660 modules configuration file.
662 If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or
663 don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the
664 local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say

713 new 16 bit character code, successor to ASCII, which encodes the
714 characters of almost all languages of the world; see

719 bool "Transparent decompression extension"
720 depends on ISO9660_FS
723 This is a Linux-specific extension to RockRidge which lets you store
724 data in compressed form on a CD-ROM and have it transparently
725 decompressed when the CD-ROM is accessed. See
726 <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/zisofs/> for the tools

759 If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
760 VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
761 to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
762 diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
763 files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all

778 file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
779 available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
781 The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
784 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called

793 This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless
794 they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under
795 Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the
796 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from

807 generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT.
809 This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure,

821 programs from the mtools package.
823 The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only
824 works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read

837 It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option.
838 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
840 config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
841 string "Default iocharset for FAT"
845 Set this to the default input/output character set you'd
846 like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set
847 that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden
848 with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems.
849 Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems.
850 If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here.
851 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
854 tristate "NTFS file system support"
857 NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
859 Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but
860 safe, write support available. For write support you must also
861 say Y to "NTFS write support" below.
863 There are also a number of user-space tools available, called
864 ntfsprogs. These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work
865 without NTFS support enabled in the kernel.
867 This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced
868 the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to
869 the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch
870 from the project web site.
872 For more information see <file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt>
873 and <http://www.linux-ntfs.org/>.
875 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
876 module will be called ntfs.
878 If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to
879 Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.
882 bool "NTFS debugging support"
885 If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say
886 Y here. This will result in additional consistency checks to be
887 performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to
888 be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are
889 disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1
890 at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option
891 to insmod when loading the ntfs module. Once the driver is active,
892 you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
893 echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
894 Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.
896 If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little
897 overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant
898 slowdown of the system.
900 When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of
901 debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring.
904 bool "NTFS write support"
907 This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.
909 The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
910 changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
911 renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
912 so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
915 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
916 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
917 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
919 Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
920 scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
921 write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
924 This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run
925 on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
926 hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
927 need its own partition. For more information see

940 bool "sysfs file system support" if EMBEDDED
943 The sysfs filesystem is a virtual filesystem that the kernel uses to
944 export internal kernel objects, their attributes, and their
945 relationships to one another.
947 Users can use sysfs to ascertain useful information about the running
948 kernel, such as the devices the kernel has discovered on each bus and
949 which driver each is bound to. sysfs can also be used to tune devices
950 and other kernel subsystems.
952 Some system agents rely on the information in sysfs to operate.
953 /sbin/hotplug uses device and object attributes in sysfs to assist in
954 delegating policy decisions, like persistently naming devices.
956 sysfs is currently used by the block subsystem to mount the root
957 partition. If sysfs is disabled you must specify the boot device on
958 the kernel boot command line via its major and minor numbers. For
959 example, "root=03:01" for /dev/hda1.
961 Designers of embedded systems may wish to say N here to conserve space.
964 bool "Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs)"
966 Tmpfs is a file system which keeps all files in virtual memory.
968 Everything in tmpfs is temporary in the sense that no files will be
969 created on your hard drive. The files live in memory and swap
970 space. If you unmount a tmpfs instance, everything stored therein is

1114 on files and directories, and database-like indices on selected
1115 attributes. (Also note that this driver doesn't make those features
1116 available at this time). It is a 64 bit filesystem, so it supports
1117 extremely large volumes and files.

1453 ACLs on local files whether this protocol is available or not.
1455 Choose Y here if your NFS server supports the Solaris NFSv3 ACL
1456 protocol extension and you want your NFS client to allow
1457 applications to access and modify ACLs on files on the server.
1459 Most NFS servers don't support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol
1460 extension. You can choose N here or specify the "noacl" mount
1461 option to prevent your NFS client from trying to use the NFSv3
1467 bool "NFS client support for NFS version 4 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1468 depends on NFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
1469 select RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5
1471 This option enables support for version 4 of the NFS protocol
1472 (RFC 3530) in the kernel's NFS client.
1474 To mount NFS servers using NFSv4, you also need to install user
1475 space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package,
1476 available from http://linux-nfs.org/.
1481 bool "Root file system on NFS"
1482 depends on NFS_FS=y && IP_PNP
1484 If you want your system to mount its root file system via NFS,
1485 choose Y here. This is common practice for managing systems
1486 without local permanent storage. For details, read
1487 <file:Documentation/filesystems/nfsroot.txt>.
1489 Most people say N here.
1492 tristate "NFS server support"
1497 select NFS_ACL_SUPPORT if NFSD_V2_ACL
1499 Choose Y here if you want to allow other computers to access
1500 files residing on this system using Sun's Network File System
1501 protocol. To compile the NFS server support as a module,
1502 choose M here: the module will be called nfsd.
1504 You may choose to use a user-space NFS server instead, in which
1505 case you can choose N here.
1507 To export local file systems using NFS, you also need to install
1508 user space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils
1509 package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. More detail about
1510 the Linux NFS server implementation is available via the
1511 exports(5) man page.
1513 Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are
1514 available to clients mounting the NFS server on this system.
1515 Support for NFS version 2 (RFC 1094) is always available when
1516 CONFIG_NFSD is selected.
1525 bool "NFS server support for NFS version 3"
1528 This option enables support in your system's NFS server for
1529 version 3 of the NFS protocol (RFC 1813).
1534 bool "NFS server support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension"
1538 Solaris NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that
1539 never became an official part of the NFS version 3 protocol.
1540 This protocol extension allows applications on NFS clients to
1541 manipulate POSIX Access Control Lists on files residing on NFS
1542 servers. NFS servers enforce POSIX ACLs on local files whether
1543 this protocol is available or not.
1545 This option enables support in your system's NFS server for the
1546 NFSv3 ACL protocol extension allowing NFS clients to manipulate
1547 POSIX ACLs on files exported by your system's NFS server. NFS
1548 clients which support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol can then
1549 access and modify ACLs on your NFS server.
1551 To store ACLs on your NFS server, you also need to enable ACL-
1552 related CONFIG options for your local file systems of choice.
1557 bool "NFS server support for NFS version 4 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1558 depends on NFSD && PROC_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
1561 select RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5
1563 This option enables support in your system's NFS server for
1564 version 4 of the NFS protocol (RFC 3530).
1566 To export files using NFSv4, you need to install additional user
1567 space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package,
1568 available from http://linux-nfs.org/.

1598 config SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA
1600 depends on SUNRPC && INFINIBAND && EXPERIMENTAL
1601 default SUNRPC && INFINIBAND
1603 This option enables an RPC client transport capability that
1604 allows the NFS client to mount servers via an RDMA-enabled
1607 To compile RPC client RDMA transport support as a module,
1608 choose M here: the module will be called xprtrdma.
1612 config SUNRPC_REGISTER_V4
1613 bool "Register local RPC services via rpcbind v4 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1614 depends on SUNRPC && EXPERIMENTAL
1617 Sun added support for registering RPC services at an IPv6
1618 address by creating two new versions of the rpcbind protocol
1621 This option enables support in the kernel RPC server for
1622 registering kernel RPC services via version 4 of the rpcbind
1623 protocol. If you enable this option, you must run a portmapper
1624 daemon that supports rpcbind protocol version 4.
1626 Serving NFS over IPv6 from knfsd (the kernel's NFS server)
1627 requires that you enable this option and use a portmapper that
1628 supports rpcbind version 4.
1630 If unsure, say N to get traditional behavior (register kernel
1631 RPC services using only rpcbind version 2). Distributions
1632 using the legacy Linux portmapper daemon must say N here.
1634 config RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5
1635 tristate "Secure RPC: Kerberos V mechanism (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1636 depends on SUNRPC && EXPERIMENTAL
1643 Choose Y here to enable Secure RPC using the Kerberos version 5
1644 GSS-API mechanism (RFC 1964).
1646 Secure RPC calls with Kerberos require an auxiliary user-space
1647 daemon which may be found in the Linux nfs-utils package
1648 available from http://linux-nfs.org/. In addition, user-space
1649 Kerberos support should be installed.
1653 config RPCSEC_GSS_SPKM3
1654 tristate "Secure RPC: SPKM3 mechanism (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1655 depends on SUNRPC && EXPERIMENTAL
1663 Choose Y here to enable Secure RPC using the SPKM3 public key
1664 GSS-API mechansim (RFC 2025).
1666 Secure RPC calls with SPKM3 require an auxiliary userspace
1667 daemon which may be found in the Linux nfs-utils package
1668 available from http://linux-nfs.org/.
1673 tristate "SMB file system support (OBSOLETE, please use CIFS)"
1677 SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
1678 (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
1679 files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to
1680 mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
1681 access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this
1682 works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
1683 transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read
1684 <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
1685 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1687 Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
1688 files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
1689 to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
1690 the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
1693 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
1694 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
1696 To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here:
1697 the module will be called smbfs. Most people say N, however.
1699 config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
1700 bool "Use a default NLS"
1703 Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You
1704 need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls
1705 settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
1706 CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.
1708 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
1709 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
1711 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.
1713 config SMB_NLS_REMOTE
1714 string "Default Remote NLS Option"
1715 depends on SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
1718 This setting allows you to specify a default value for which
1719 codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no
1720 translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset
1721 default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
1723 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
1724 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
1726 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.

1731 tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
1732 depends on IPX!=n || INET
1734 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
1735 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
1736 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
1737 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
1738 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
1739 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
1740 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1742 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
1743 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
1745 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
1746 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
1748 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
1749 ncpfs. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network.
1751 source "fs/ncpfs/Kconfig"
1754 tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)"
1757 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
1758 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
1759 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
1760 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
1761 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
1762 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
1763 persistent client caches and write back caching.
1765 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
1766 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
1767 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
1768 no kernel support. Please read
1769 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
1770 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
1772 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
1773 module will be called coda.
1776 tristate "Andrew File System support (AFS) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1777 depends on INET && EXPERIMENTAL
1780 If you say Y here, you will get an experimental Andrew File System
1781 driver. It currently only supports unsecured read-only AFS access.
1783 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt> for more information.
1788 bool "AFS dynamic debugging"
1791 Say Y here to make runtime controllable debugging messages appear.
1793 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt> for more information.
1798 tristate "Plan 9 Resource Sharing Support (9P2000) (Experimental)"
1799 depends on INET && NET_9P && EXPERIMENTAL
1801 If you say Y here, you will get experimental support for
1802 Plan 9 resource sharing via the 9P2000 protocol.
