|

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/>).

Ext4dev is a predecessor filesystem of the next generation

extended fs ext4, based on ext3 filesystem code. It will be

renamed ext4 fs later, once ext4dev is mature and stabilized.
|
|
|
|
Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
|
|
the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
|
|
it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
|
|
numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow
|
|
ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
|
|
a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the
|
|
on-disk format.
|
|
|
|
Other than extent maps and 48-bit block numbers, ext4dev also is
|
|
likely to have other new features such as persistent preallocation,

|
high resolution time stamps, and larger file support etc. These
|
|
features will be added to ext4dev gradually.

BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
|
|
OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
|
|
Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
|
|
this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
|
|
these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
|
|
experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
|
|
file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information.
|
|

The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
|
|
READ-ONLY supported.
|
|

If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the

network using NFS, you don't need the UFS file system support (but

you need NFS file system support obviously).

This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files

cache. Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers

directly. Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has

no alignment restrictions.
|
|
|
|
Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are

|
much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for

you. Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network

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>.
|
|
|
|
You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
|
|
file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.

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
|
|
home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
|
|
|
|
To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
module will be called coda.

help
|
|
A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
|
|
to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
|
|
new realms implementation.
|
|
|
|
However this new API is not backward compatible with older
|
|
clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
|
|
cache manager then say Y.
|
|
|
|
For most cases you probably want to say N.
