31 tristate "Reiserfs support"
33 Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
34 tree. Uses journalling.
36 Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
37 architectural foundations.
39 In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
40 large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed
41 for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.
43 It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
44 database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
45 systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support
46 plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
47 make source code open.''

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

581 Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.
584 bool "NTFS debugging support"
587 If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say
588 Y here. This will result in additional consistency checks to be
589 performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to
590 be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are
591 disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1
592 at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option
593 to insmod when loading the ntfs module. Once the driver is active,
594 you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
595 echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
596 Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.
598 If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little
599 overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant
600 slowdown of the system.
602 When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of
603 debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring.
606 bool "NTFS write support"
609 This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.
611 The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
612 changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
613 renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
614 so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
617 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
618 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
619 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
621 Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
622 scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
623 write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),

649 Users can use sysfs to ascertain useful information about the running
650 kernel, such as the devices the kernel has discovered on each bus and
651 which driver each is bound to. sysfs can also be used to tune devices
652 and other kernel subsystems.
654 Some system agents rely on the information in sysfs to operate.
655 /sbin/hotplug uses device and object attributes in sysfs to assist in
656 delegating policy decisions, like persistently naming devices.
658 sysfs is currently used by the block subsystem to mount the root
659 partition. If sysfs is disabled you must specify the boot device on

801 If you say Y here, you will be able to mount extended format
802 Macintosh-formatted hard drive partitions with full read-write access.
804 This file system is often called HFS+ and was introduced with
805 MacOS 8. It includes all Mac specific filesystem data such as
806 data forks and creator codes, but it also has several UNIX
807 style features such as file ownership and permissions.

814 The BeOS File System (BeFS) is the native file system of Be, Inc's
815 BeOS. Notable features include support for arbitrary attributes
816 on files and directories, and database-like indices on selected
817 attributes. (Also note that this driver doesn't make those features
818 available at this time). It is a 64 bit filesystem, so it supports
819 extremely large volumes and files.
821 If you use this filesystem, you should also say Y to at least one
822 of the NLS (native language support) options below.

840 Boot File System (BFS) is a file system used under SCO UnixWare to
841 allow the bootloader access to the kernel image and other important
842 files during the boot process. It is usually mounted under /stand
843 and corresponds to the slice marked as "STAND" in the UnixWare
844 partition. You should say Y if you want to read or write the files
845 on your /stand slice from within Linux. You then also need to say Y
846 to "UnixWare slices support", below. More information about the BFS
847 file system is contained in the file

883 System). CramFs is designed to be a simple, small, and compressed
884 file system for ROM based embedded systems. CramFs is read-only,
885 limited to 256MB file systems (with 16MB files), and doesn't support
886 16/32 bits uid/gid, hard links and timestamps.

918 Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's.
919 The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk
920 partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux,
921 but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.
922 You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk
923 because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found
924 on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel
925 by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N.

950 OS/2 is IBM's operating system for PC's, the same as Warp, and HPFS
951 is the file system used for organizing files on OS/2 hard disk
952 partitions. Say Y if you want to be able to read files from and
953 write files to an OS/2 HPFS partition on your hard drive. OS/2
954 floppies however are in regular MSDOS format, so you don't need this
955 option in order to be able to read them. Read

1010 SCO, Xenix and Coherent are commercial Unix systems for Intel
1011 machines, and Version 7 was used on the DEC PDP-11. Saying Y
1012 here would allow you to read from their floppies and hard disk
1015 If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely
1016 that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order
1017 to run these binaries, you will want to install linux-abi which is
1018 a set of kernel modules that lets you run SCO, Xenix, Wyse,
1019 UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux. It is
1020 available via FTP (user: ftp) from
1021 <ftp://ftp.openlinux.org/pub/people/hch/linux-abi/>).
1022 NOTE: that will work only for binaries from Intel-based systems;
1023 PDP ones will have to wait until somebody ports Linux to -11 ;-)
1025 If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
1026 network using NFS, you don't need the System V file system support
1027 (but you need NFS file system support obviously).
1029 Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
1030 good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
1031 (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
1032 tar" or preferably "info tar"). Note also that this option has
1033 nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about
1034 the System V file system in

1048 BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
1049 OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
1050 Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
1051 this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
1052 these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
1053 experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
1054 file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information.
1056 The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
1057 READ-ONLY supported.
1059 Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
1060 good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
1061 (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
1062 tar" or preferably "info tar").
1064 When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
1065 NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
1066 recode ("info recode") for this purpose.
1068 To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the

1141 This option enables support for version 3 of the NFS protocol
1142 (RFC 1813) in the kernel's NFS client.
1147 bool "NFS client support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension"
1150 Some NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that
1151 Sun added to Solaris but never became an official part of the
1152 NFS version 3 protocol. This protocol extension allows
1153 applications on NFS clients to manipulate POSIX Access Control
1154 Lists on files residing on NFS servers. NFS servers enforce
1155 ACLs on local files whether this protocol is available or not.
1157 Choose Y here if your NFS server supports the Solaris NFSv3 ACL
1158 protocol extension and you want your NFS client to allow
1159 applications to access and modify ACLs on files on the server.
1161 Most NFS servers don't support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol

1247 This option enables support in your system's NFS server for the
1248 NFSv3 ACL protocol extension allowing NFS clients to manipulate
1249 POSIX ACLs on files exported by your system's NFS server. NFS
1250 clients which support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol can then
