2 # File system configuration
8 tristate "Second extended fs support"
10 Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks.
12 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
13 module will be called ext2. Be aware however that the file system
14 of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
15 be compiled as a module, and so this could be dangerous.
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"
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"
74 This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
75 (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
76 (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
78 The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
79 to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
80 crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
81 at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
82 is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
84 Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
85 of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
86 between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
87 file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
90 To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
91 behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
92 tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
93 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
94 e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
95 (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
97 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
98 module will be called ext3. Be aware however that the file system
99 of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
100 be compiled as a module, and so this may be dangerous.
103 bool "Ext3 extended attributes"
107 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
108 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
109 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
113 You need this for POSIX ACL support on ext3.
115 config EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL
116 bool "Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists"
117 depends on EXT3_FS_XATTR
120 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
121 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
123 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
124 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
126 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
128 config EXT3_FS_SECURITY
129 bool "Ext3 Security Labels"
130 depends on EXT3_FS_XATTR
132 Security labels support alternative access control models
133 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
134 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
135 labels in the ext3 filesystem.
137 If you are not using a security module that requires using
138 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
141 # CONFIG_JBD could be its own option (even modular), but until there are
142 # other users than ext3, we will simply make it be the same as CONFIG_EXT3_FS
143 # dep_tristate ' Journal Block Device support (JBD for ext3)' CONFIG_JBD $CONFIG_EXT3_FS
147 This is a generic journaling layer for block devices. It is
148 currently used by the ext3 file system, but it could also be used to
149 add journal support to other file systems or block devices such as
152 If you are using the ext3 file system, you need to say Y here. If
153 you are not using ext3 then you will probably want to say N.
155 To compile this device as a module, choose M here: the module will be
156 called jbd. If you are compiling ext3 into the kernel, you cannot
157 compile this code as a module.
160 bool "JBD (ext3) debugging support"
163 If you are using the ext3 journaled file system (or potentially any
164 other file system/device using JBD), this option allows you to
165 enable debugging output while the system is running, in order to
166 help track down any problems you are having. By default the
167 debugging output will be turned off.
169 If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
170 with "echo N > /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug", where N is a number between
171 1 and 5, the higher the number, the more debugging output is
172 generated. To turn debugging off again, do
173 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug".
176 # Meta block cache for Extended Attributes (ext2/ext3)
178 depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR || EXT3_FS_XATTR
179 default y if EXT2_FS=y || EXT3_FS=y
180 default m if EXT2_FS=m || EXT3_FS=m
183 tristate "Reiserfs support"
185 Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
186 tree. Uses journaling.
188 Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
189 architectural foundations.
191 In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
192 large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed
193 for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.
195 It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
196 database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
197 systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support
198 plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
199 make source code open.''
201 Read <http://www.namesys.com/> to learn more about reiserfs.
203 Sponsored by Threshold Networks, Emusic.com, and Bigstorage.com.
205 If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you
206 need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS.
208 config REISERFS_CHECK
209 bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode"
210 depends on REISERFS_FS
212 If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can
213 possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its
214 operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we
215 have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the
216 latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all
217 out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its
218 effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug
219 report, say Y and you might get a useful error message. Almost
220 everyone should say N.
222 config REISERFS_PROC_INFO
223 bool "Stats in /proc/fs/reiserfs"
224 depends on REISERFS_FS
226 Create under /proc/fs/reiserfs a hierarchy of files, displaying
227 various ReiserFS statistics and internal data at the expense of
228 making your kernel or module slightly larger (+8 KB). This also
229 increases the amount of kernel memory required for each mount.
230 Almost everyone but ReiserFS developers and people fine-tuning
231 reiserfs or tracing problems should say N.
233 config REISERFS_FS_XATTR
234 bool "ReiserFS extended attributes"
235 depends on REISERFS_FS
237 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
238 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
239 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
243 config REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
244 bool "ReiserFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
245 depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR
248 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
249 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
251 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
252 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

256 config REISERFS_FS_SECURITY
257 bool "ReiserFS Security Labels"
258 depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR
260 Security labels support alternative access control models
261 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
262 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
263 labels in the ReiserFS filesystem.
265 If you are not using a security module that requires using
266 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
269 tristate "JFS filesystem support"
272 This is a port of IBM's Journaled Filesystem . More information is
273 available in the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/jfs.txt>.
275 If you do not intend to use the JFS filesystem, say N.
278 bool "JFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
282 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
283 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
285 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
286 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
288 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
291 bool "JFS Security Labels"
294 Security labels support alternative access control models
295 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
296 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
297 labels in the jfs filesystem.
299 If you are not using a security module that requires using
300 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
306 If you are experiencing any problems with the JFS filesystem, say
307 Y here. This will result in additional debugging messages to be
308 written to the system log. Under normal circumstances, this
309 results in very little overhead.
311 config JFS_STATISTICS
312 bool "JFS statistics"
315 Enabling this option will cause statistics from the JFS file system
316 to be made available to the user in the /proc/fs/jfs/ directory.
319 # Posix ACL utility routines (for now, only ext2/ext3/jfs/reiserfs)
321 # NOTE: you can implement Posix ACLs without these helpers (XFS does).

330 tristate "Minix fs support"
332 Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's.
333 The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk
334 partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux,
335 but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.
336 You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk
337 because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found
338 on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel
339 by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N.
341 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
342 module will be called minix. Note that the file system of your root
343 partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as
347 tristate "ROM file system support"
349 This is a very small read-only file system mainly intended for
350 initial ram disks of installation disks, but it could be used for
351 other read-only media as well. Read
352 <file:Documentation/filesystems/romfs.txt> for details.
354 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
355 module will be called romfs. Note that the file system of your
356 root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be a
359 If you don't know whether you need it, then you don't need it:
365 If you say Y here, you will be able to set per user limits for disk
366 usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works for the
367 ext2, ext3, and reiserfs file system. ext3 also supports journalled
368 quotas for which you don't need to run quotacheck(8) after an unclean
369 shutdown. You need additional software in order to use quota support
370 (you can download sources from
371 <http://www.sf.net/projects/linuxquota/>). For further details, read
372 the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from
373 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or the documentation provided
374 with the quota tools. Probably the quota support is only useful for
375 multi user systems. If unsure, say N.
378 tristate "Old quota format support"
381 This quota format was (is) used by kernels earlier than 2.4.22. If
382 you have quota working and you don't want to convert to new quota
386 tristate "Quota format v2 support"
389 This quota format allows using quotas with 32-bit UIDs/GIDs. If you
390 need this functionality say Y here. Note that you will need recent
391 quota utilities (>= 3.01) for new quota format with this kernel.
395 depends on XFS_QUOTA || QUOTA
399 bool "Dnotify support" if EMBEDDED
402 Dnotify is a directory-based per-fd file change notification system
403 that uses signals to communicate events to user-space. There exist
404 superior alternatives, but some applications may still rely on
407 Because of this, if unsure, say Y.
410 tristate "Kernel automounter support"
412 The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
413 on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
414 overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
415 automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
417 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs
418 package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
419 You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
421 If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more
422 features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support",
425 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
428 If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network, you
429 probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here.
432 tristate "Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3)"
434 The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
435 on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
436 overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
437 automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
439 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
440 <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/>; you also
441 want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
443 To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
444 called autofs4. You will need to add "alias autofs autofs4" to your
445 modules configuration file.
447 If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or
448 don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the
449 local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say

455 tristate "ISO 9660 CDROM file system support"
457 This is the standard file system used on CD-ROMs. It was previously
458 known as "High Sierra File System" and is called "hsfs" on other
459 Unix systems. The so-called Rock-Ridge extensions which allow for
460 long Unix filenames and symbolic links are also supported by this
461 driver. If you have a CD-ROM drive and want to do more with it than
462 just listen to audio CDs and watch its LEDs, say Y (and read
463 <file:Documentation/filesystems/isofs.txt> and the CD-ROM-HOWTO,
464 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>), thereby
465 enlarging your kernel by about 27 KB; otherwise say N.
467 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
468 module will be called isofs.
471 bool "Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions"
472 depends on ISO9660_FS
475 Joliet is a Microsoft extension for the ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system
476 which allows for long filenames in unicode format (unicode is the
477 new 16 bit character code, successor to ASCII, which encodes the
478 characters of almost all languages of the world; see
479 <http://www.unicode.org/> for more information). Say Y here if you
480 want to be able to read Joliet CD-ROMs under Linux.
483 bool "Transparent decompression extension"
484 depends on ISO9660_FS
487 This is a Linux-specific extension to RockRidge which lets you store
488 data in compressed form on a CD-ROM and have it transparently
489 decompressed when the CD-ROM is accessed. See
490 <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/zisofs/> for the tools
491 necessary to create such a filesystem. Say Y here if you want to be
492 able to read such compressed CD-ROMs.

501 tristate "UDF file system support"
503 This is the new file system used on some CD-ROMs and DVDs. Say Y if
504 you intend to mount DVD discs or CDRW's written in packet mode, or
505 if written to by other UDF utilities, such as DirectCD.
506 Please read <file:Documentation/filesystems/udf.txt>.
508 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
509 module will be called udf.
516 depends on (UDF_FS=m && NLS) || (UDF_FS=y && NLS=y)
520 menu "DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems"
526 If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
527 VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
528 to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
529 diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
530 files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
533 This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
534 the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
535 M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
536 order to make use of it.
538 Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
539 partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
540 mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
543 If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
544 Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
545 file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
546 available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
548 It is now also becoming possible to read and write compressed FAT
549 file systems; read <file:Documentation/filesystems/fat_cvf.txt> for
552 The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
555 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
556 fat. Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you
557 cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel
558 -- they will have to be modules as well.
561 tristate "MSDOS fs support"
564 This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless
565 they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under
566 Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the
567 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
568 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in

571 here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes
572 transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all
575 If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS
576 partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs
577 support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames
578 generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT.
580 This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure,
581 answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support"
582 as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will
586 tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support"
589 This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with
590 long filenames. That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems
591 used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix
592 programs from the mtools package.
594 The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only
595 works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read
596 the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for details. If

608 It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option.
609 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
611 config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
612 string "Default iocharset for FAT"
616 Set this to the default input/output character set you'd
617 like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set
618 that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden
619 with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems.
620 Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems.
621 If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here.
622 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
625 tristate "NTFS file system support"
628 NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
630 Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but
631 safe, write support available. For write support you must also
632 say Y to "NTFS write support" below.
634 There are also a number of user-space tools available, called
635 ntfsprogs. These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work
636 without NTFS support enabled in the kernel.
638 This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced
639 the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to
640 the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch
641 from the project web site.
643 For more information see <file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt>
644 and <http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/>.
646 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
647 module will be called ntfs.
649 If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to
650 Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.
653 bool "NTFS debugging support"
656 If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say
657 Y here. This will result in additional consistency checks to be
658 performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to
659 be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are
660 disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1
661 at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option
662 to insmod when loading the ntfs module. Once the driver is active,
663 you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
664 echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
665 Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.
667 If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little
668 overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant
669 slowdown of the system.
671 When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of
672 debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring.
675 bool "NTFS write support"
678 This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.
680 The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
681 changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
682 renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
683 so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
686 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
687 so far not received a single report where the driver would have
688 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
690 Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
691 scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
692 write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
695 This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run
696 on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
697 hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
698 need its own partition. For more information see
699 <http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/>
701 It is perfectly safe to say N here.
705 menu "Pseudo filesystems"
708 bool "/proc file system support"
710 This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
711 of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
712 your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
713 you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
714 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
716 It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
717 information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment

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

1371 directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
1372 no alignment restrictions.
1374 Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
1375 much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for

1435 be compiled with the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension; see the
1436 CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL option. If unsure, say N.
1439 bool "Provide NFSv4 server support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1440 depends on NFSD_V3 && EXPERIMENTAL
1446 If you would like to include the NFSv4 server as well as the NFSv2
1447 and NFSv3 servers, say Y here. This feature is experimental, and
1448 should only be used if you are interested in helping to test NFSv4.
1452 bool "Provide NFS server over TCP support"
1456 If you want your NFS server to support TCP connections, say Y here.
1457 TCP connections usually perform better than the default UDP when
1458 the network is lossy or congested. If unsure, say Y.
1461 bool "Root file system on NFS"
1462 depends on NFS_FS=y && IP_PNP
1464 If you want your Linux box to mount its whole root file system (the
1465 one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
1466 net via NFS (presumably because your box doesn't have a hard disk),
1467 say Y. Read <file:Documentation/nfsroot.txt> for details. It is
1468 likely that in this case, you also want to say Y to "Kernel level IP
1469 autoconfiguration" so that your box can discover its network address
1472 Most people say N here.

1508 Provides for secure RPC calls by means of a gss-api
1509 mechanism based on Kerberos V5. This is required for

1534 tristate "SMB file system support (to mount Windows shares etc.)"
1538 SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
1539 (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
1540 files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to
1541 mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
1542 access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this
1543 works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
1544 transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read
1545 <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
1546 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1548 Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
1549 files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
1550 to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
1551 the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
1554 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
1555 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
1557 To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here: the module will
1558 be called smbfs. Most people say N, however.
1560 config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
1561 bool "Use a default NLS"
1564 Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You
1565 need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls
1566 settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
1567 CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.
1569 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
1570 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
1572 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.
1574 config SMB_NLS_REMOTE
1575 string "Default Remote NLS Option"
1576 depends on SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
1579 This setting allows you to specify a default value for which
1580 codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no
1581 translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset
1582 default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
1584 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
1585 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
1587 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.
1590 tristate "CIFS support (advanced network filesystem for Samba, Window and other CIFS compliant servers)"
1594 This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
1595 (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
1596 (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
1597 PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
1598 file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
1599 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
1600 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Currently
1601 you must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
1602 such as Windows 9x and OS/2.
1604 The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
1605 network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
1606 including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
1607 session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
1608 packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
1609 and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
1610 cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
1611 smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
1612 and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need
1613 to mount to Samba or Windows 2003 servers from this machine, say Y.
1616 bool "CIFS statistics"
1619 Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
1620 mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
1623 bool "CIFS extended attributes (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1626 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
1627 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
1628 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
1629 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
1630 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
1631 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
1632 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
1633 (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
1639 bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1640 depends on CIFS_XATTR
1642 Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
1643 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
1644 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
1645 than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
1646 support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
1647 (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
1648 CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
1650 config CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
1651 bool "CIFS Experimental Features (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1654 Enables cifs features under testing. These features
1655 are highly experimental. If unsure, say N.
1658 tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
1659 depends on IPX!=n || INET
1661 NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
1662 used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
1663 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
1664 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
1665 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
1666 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
1667 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1669 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
1670 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
1672 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
1673 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
1675 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
1676 ncpfs. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network.
1678 source "fs/ncpfs/Kconfig"
1681 tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)"
1684 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
1685 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
1686 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
1687 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
1688 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
1689 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
1690 persistent client caches and write back caching.
1692 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
1693 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
1694 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
1695 no kernel support. Please read
1696 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
1697 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
1699 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
1700 module will be called coda.
1702 config CODA_FS_OLD_API
1703 bool "Use 96-bit Coda file identifiers"
1706 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
1707 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
1708 new realms implementation.
1710 However this new API is not backward compatible with older
1711 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
1712 cache manager then say Y.
1714 For most cases you probably want to say N.
1717 # for fs/nls/Config.in
1718 tristate "Andrew File System support (AFS) (Experimental)"
1719 depends on INET && EXPERIMENTAL
1722 If you say Y here, you will get an experimental Andrew File System
1723 driver. It currently only supports unsecured read-only AFS access.
