Uses journalling. 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.'' Read <http://www.namesys.com/> to learn more about reiserfs. Sponsored by Threshold Networks, Emusic.com, and Bigstorage.com. If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS. config REISERFS_CHECK bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode" depends on REISERFS_FS help If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug report, say Y and you might get a useful error message. Almost everyone should say N. config REISERFS_PROC_INFO bool "Stats in /proc/fs/reiserfs" depends on REISERFS_FS && PROC_FS help Create under /proc/fs/reiserfs a hierarchy of files, displaying various ReiserFS statistics and internal data at the expense of making your kernel or module slightly larger (+8 KB). This also increases the amount of kernel memory required for each mount. Almost everyone but ReiserFS developers and people fine-tuning reiserfs or tracing problems should say N. config REISERFS_FS_XATTR bool "ReiserFS extended attributes" depends on REISERFS_FS 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).

To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>. If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N config JFS_SECURITY bool "JFS Security Labels" depends on JFS_FS help Security labels support alternative access control models implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file security labels in the jfs filesystem. If you are not using a security module that requires using extended attributes for file security labels, say N. config JFS_DEBUG bool "JFS debugging" depends on JFS_FS help If you are experiencing any problems with the JFS filesystem, say Y here. This will result in additional debugging messages to be written to the system log. Under normal circumstances, this results in very little overhead. config JFS_STATISTICS bool "JFS statistics" depends on JFS_FS help Enabling this option will cause statistics from the JFS file system to be made available to the user in the /proc/fs/jfs/ directory. config FS_POSIX_ACL # Posix ACL utility routines (for now, only ext2/ext3/jfs/reiserfs/nfs4) # # NOTE: you can implement Posix ACLs without these helpers (XFS does). # Never use this symbol for ifdefs. # bool default n config FILE_LOCKING bool "Enable POSIX file locking API" if EMBEDDED default y help This option enables standard file locking support, required for filesystems like NFS and for the flock() system call.

It supports 64 bit inode numbers, and has automatically extending metadata groups which may also make it attractive for non-clustered use. You'll want to install the ocfs2-tools package in order to at least get "mount.ocfs2". Project web page: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2 Tools web page: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2-tools OCFS2 mailing lists: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/mailman/ For more information on OCFS2, see the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ocfs2.txt>. config OCFS2_FS_O2CB tristate "O2CB Kernelspace Clustering" depends on OCFS2_FS default y help OCFS2 includes a simple kernelspace clustering package, the OCFS2 Cluster Base. It only requires a very small userspace component to configure it. This comes with the standard ocfs2-tools package. O2CB is limited to maintaining a cluster for OCFS2 file systems. It cannot manage any other cluster applications. It is always safe to say Y here, as the clustering method is run-time selectable. config OCFS2_FS_USERSPACE_CLUSTER tristate "OCFS2 Userspace Clustering" depends on OCFS2_FS && DLM default y help This option will allow OCFS2 to use userspace clustering services in conjunction with the DLM in fs/dlm. If you are using a userspace cluster manager, say Y here. It is safe to say Y, as the clustering method is run-time selectable. config OCFS2_FS_STATS bool "OCFS2 statistics" depends on OCFS2_FS default y help This option allows some fs statistics to be captured. Enabling this option may increase the memory consumption. config OCFS2_DEBUG_MASKLOG bool "OCFS2 logging support" depends on OCFS2_FS default y help The ocfs2 filesystem has an extensive logging system. The system allows selection of events to log via files in /sys/o2cb/logmask/. This option will enlarge your kernel, but it allows debugging of ocfs2 filesystem issues. config OCFS2_DEBUG_FS bool "OCFS2 expensive checks" depends on OCFS2_FS default n help This option will enable expensive consistency checks. Enable this option for debugging only as it is likely to decrease performance of the filesystem. config OCFS2_COMPAT_JBD bool "Use JBD for compatibility" depends on OCFS2_FS default n select JBD help The ocfs2 filesystem now uses JBD2 for its journalling. JBD2 is backwards compatible with JBD. It is safe to say N here. However, if you really want to use the original JBD, say Y here. endif # BLOCK config DNOTIFY bool "Dnotify support" default y help Dnotify is a directory-based per-fd file change notification system that uses signals to communicate events to user-space. There exist superior alternatives, but some applications may still rely on dnotify. If unsure, say Y. config INOTIFY bool "Inotify file change notification support" default y ---help--- Say Y here to enable inotify support. Inotify is a file change notification system and a replacement for dnotify. Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and unmount notification. For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt> If unsure, say Y. config INOTIFY_USER bool "Inotify support for userspace" depends on INOTIFY default y ---help--- Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the associated system calls. Inotify allows monitoring of both files and directories via a single open fd. Events are read from the file descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able. For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt> If unsure, say Y. config QUOTA bool "Quota support" help If you say Y here, you will be able to set per user limits for disk usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works for the ext2, ext3, and reiserfs file system. ext3 also supports journalled quotas for which you don't need to run quotacheck(8) after an unclean shutdown. For further details, read the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or the documentation provided with the quota tools. Probably the quota support is only useful for multi user systems. If unsure, say N. config QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE bool "Report quota messages through netlink interface" depends on QUOTA && NET help If you say Y here, quota warnings (about exceeding softlimit, reaching hardlimit, etc.) will be reported through netlink interface. If unsure, say Y. config PRINT_QUOTA_WARNING bool "Print quota warnings to console (OBSOLETE)" depends on QUOTA default y help If you say Y here, quota warnings (about exceeding softlimit, reaching hardlimit, etc.) will be printed to the process' controlling terminal. Note that this behavior is currently deprecated and may go away in future. Please use notification via netlink socket instead. config QFMT_V1 tristate "Old quota format support" depends on QUOTA help This quota format was (is) used by kernels earlier than 2.4.22. If you have quota working and you don't want to convert to new quota format say Y here. config QFMT_V2 tristate "Quota format v2 support" depends on QUOTA help This quota format allows using quotas with 32-bit UIDs/GIDs. If you need this functionality say Y here. config QUOTACTL bool depends on XFS_QUOTA || QUOTA default y config AUTOFS_FS tristate "Kernel automounter support" help The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>. You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support", below. To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called autofs. If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here. config AUTOFS4_FS tristate "Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3)" help The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon. To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/>; you also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below. To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called autofs4. You will need to add "alias autofs autofs4" to your modules configuration file. If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here. config FUSE_FS tristate "FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support" help With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program. There's also companion library: libfuse. This library along with utilities is available from the FUSE homepage: <http://fuse.sourceforge.net/> See <file:Documentation/filesystems/fuse.txt> for more information. See <file:Documentation/Changes> for needed library/utility version. If you want to develop a userspace FS, or if you want to use a filesystem based on FUSE, answer Y or M. config GENERIC_ACL bool select FS_POSIX_ACL if BLOCK menu "CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems" config ISO9660_FS tristate "ISO 9660 CDROM file system support" help This is the standard file system used on CD-ROMs. It was previously known as "High Sierra File System" and is called "hsfs" on other Unix systems. The so-called Rock-Ridge extensions which allow for long Unix filenames and symbolic links are also supported by this driver. If you have a CD-ROM drive and want to do more with it than just listen to audio CDs and watch its LEDs, say Y (and read <file:Documentation/filesystems/isofs.txt> and the CD-ROM-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>), thereby enlarging your kernel by about 27 KB; otherwise say N. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called isofs. config JOLIET bool "Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions" depends on ISO9660_FS select NLS help Joliet is a Microsoft extension for the ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system which allows for long filenames in unicode format (unicode is the new 16 bit character code, successor to ASCII, which encodes the characters of almost all languages of the world; see <http://www.unicode.org/> for more information). Say Y here if you want to be able to read Joliet CD-ROMs under Linux. config ZISOFS bool "Transparent decompression extension" depends on ISO9660_FS select ZLIB_INFLATE help This is a Linux-specific extension to RockRidge which lets you store data in compressed form on a CD-ROM and have it transparently decompressed when the CD-ROM is accessed. See <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/zisofs/> for the tools necessary to create such a filesystem. Say Y here if you want to be able to read such compressed CD-ROMs. config UDF_FS tristate "UDF file system support" select CRC_ITU_T help This is the new file system used on some CD-ROMs and DVDs. Say Y if you intend to mount DVD discs or CDRW's written in packet mode, or if written to by other UDF utilities, such as DirectCD. Please read <file:Documentation/filesystems/udf.txt>. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called udf. If unsure, say N. config UDF_NLS bool default y depends on (UDF_FS=m && NLS) || (UDF_FS=y && NLS=y) endmenu endif # BLOCK if BLOCK menu "DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems" config FAT_FS tristate select NLS help If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all other Unix files. This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in order to make use of it. Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in order to do that. If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar"). The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure, say Y. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called fat. Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel -- they will have to be modules as well. config MSDOS_FS tristate "MSDOS fs support" select FAT_FS help This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/>. If you intend to use dosemu with a non-compressed MSDOS partition, say Y here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all other Unix files. If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT. This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure, answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support" as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called msdos. config VFAT_FS tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support" select FAT_FS help This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with long filenames. That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix programs from the mtools package. The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for details. If unsure, say Y. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called vfat. config FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE int "Default codepage for FAT" depends on MSDOS_FS || VFAT_FS default 437 help This option should be set to the codepage of your FAT filesystems. It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option. See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information. config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET string "Default iocharset for FAT" depends on VFAT_FS default "iso8859-1" help Set this to the default input/output character set you'd like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems. Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems. If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here. See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information. config NTFS_FS tristate "NTFS file system support" select NLS help 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/>. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ntfs. If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to Linux on your computer it is safe to say N. config NTFS_DEBUG bool "NTFS debugging support" depends on NTFS_FS 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 <http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/> It is perfectly safe to say N here. endmenu endif # BLOCK menu "Pseudo filesystems" source "fs/proc/Kconfig" config SYSFS bool "sysfs file system support" if EMBEDDED default y help 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. Designers of embedded systems may wish to say N here to conserve space. config TMPFS bool "Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs)" help Tmpfs is a file system which keeps all files in virtual memory. Everything in tmpfs is temporary in the sense that no files will be created on your hard drive. The files live in memory and swap space. If you unmount a tmpfs instance, everything stored therein is lost. See <file:Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt> for details. config TMPFS_POSIX_ACL bool "Tmpfs POSIX Access Control Lists" depends on TMPFS select GENERIC_ACL help POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme. To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

For architectures that support it, say Y here and read <file:Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt> for details. If unsure, say N. config HUGETLB_PAGE def_bool HUGETLBFS config CONFIGFS_FS tristate "Userspace-driven configuration filesystem" depends on SYSFS help configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager of kernel objects, or config_items. Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the same system. One is not a replacement for the other. endmenu menu "Miscellaneous filesystems" config ADFS_FS tristate "ADFS file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL help The Acorn Disc Filing System is the standard file system of the RiscOS operating system which runs on Acorn's ARM-based Risc PC systems and the Acorn Archimedes range of machines. If you say Y here, Linux will be able to read from ADFS partitions on hard drives and from ADFS-formatted floppy discs. If you also want to be able to write to those devices, say Y to "ADFS write support" below. The ADFS partition should be the first partition (i.e., /dev/[hs]d?1) on each of your drives. Please read the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/adfs.txt> for further details. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called adfs. If unsure, say N. config ADFS_FS_RW bool "ADFS write support (DANGEROUS)" depends on ADFS_FS help If you say Y here, you will be able to write to ADFS partitions on hard drives and ADFS-formatted floppy disks. This is experimental codes, so if you're unsure, say N. config AFFS_FS tristate "Amiga FFS file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL help The Fast File System (FFS) is the common file system used on hard disks by Amiga(tm) systems since AmigaOS Version 1.3 (34.20). Say Y if you want to be able to read and write files from and to an Amiga FFS partition on your hard drive. Amiga floppies however cannot be read with this driver due to an incompatibility of the floppy controller used in an Amiga and the standard floppy controller in PCs and workstations. Read <file:Documentation/filesystems/affs.txt> and <file:fs/affs/Changes>. With this driver you can also mount disk files used by Bernd Schmidt's Un*X Amiga Emulator (<http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/>).

This file system is often called HFS+ and was introduced with MacOS 8. It includes all Mac specific filesystem data such as data forks and creator codes, but it also has several UNIX style features such as file ownership and permissions. config BEFS_FS tristate "BeOS file system (BeFS) support (read only) (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL select NLS help The BeOS File System (BeFS) is the native file system of Be, Inc's BeOS. Notable features include support for arbitrary attributes on files and directories, and database-like indices on selected attributes. (Also note that this driver doesn't make those features available at this time). It is a 64 bit filesystem, so it supports extremely large volumes and files. If you use this filesystem, you should also say Y to at least one of the NLS (native language support) options below. If you don't know what this is about, say N. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called befs. config BEFS_DEBUG bool "Debug BeFS" depends on BEFS_FS help If you say Y here, you can use the 'debug' mount option to enable debugging output from the driver. config BFS_FS tristate "BFS file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL help Boot File System (BFS) is a file system used under SCO UnixWare to allow the bootloader access to the kernel image and other important files during the boot process. It is usually mounted under /stand and corresponds to the slice marked as "STAND" in the UnixWare partition. You should say Y if you want to read or write the files on your /stand slice from within Linux. You then also need to say Y to "UnixWare slices support", below. More information about the BFS file system is contained in the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/bfs.txt>. If you don't know what this is about, say N. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called bfs. Note that the file system of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module. config EFS_FS tristate "EFS file system support (read only) (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL help EFS is an older file system used for non-ISO9660 CD-ROMs and hard disk partitions by SGI's IRIX operating system (IRIX 6.0 and newer uses the XFS file system for hard disk partitions however). This implementation only offers read-only access. If you don't know what all this is about, it's safe to say N. For more information about EFS see its home page at <http://aeschi.ch.eu.org/efs/>.

If unsure, say N. config VXFS_FS tristate "FreeVxFS file system support (VERITAS VxFS(TM) compatible)" depends on BLOCK help FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM) file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. Currently only readonly access is supported. NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not the actual driver. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called freevxfs. If unsure, say N. config MINIX_FS tristate "Minix file system support" depends on BLOCK help Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's. The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux, but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs. You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called minix. Note that the file system of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module. config OMFS_FS tristate "SonicBlue Optimized MPEG File System support" depends on BLOCK select CRC_ITU_T help This is the proprietary file system used by the Rio Karma music player and ReplayTV DVR. Despite the name, this filesystem is not more efficient than a standard FS for MPEG files, in fact likely the opposite is true. Say Y if you have either of these devices and wish to mount its disk. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called omfs. If unsure, say N. config HPFS_FS tristate "OS/2 HPFS file system support" depends on BLOCK help OS/2 is IBM's operating system for PC's, the same as Warp, and HPFS is the file system used for organizing files on OS/2 hard disk partitions. Say Y if you want to be able to read files from and write files to an OS/2 HPFS partition on your hard drive. OS/2 floppies however are in regular MSDOS format, so you don't need this option in order to be able to read them. Read <file:Documentation/filesystems/hpfs.txt>. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called hpfs. If unsure, say N. config QNX4FS_FS tristate "QNX4 file system support (read only)" depends on BLOCK help This is the file system used by the real-time operating systems QNX 4 and QNX 6 (the latter is also called QNX RTP). Further information is available at <http://www.qnx.com/>. Say Y if you intend to mount QNX hard disks or floppies. Unless you say Y to "QNX4FS read-write support" below, you will only be able to read these file systems. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called qnx4. If you don't know whether you need it, then you don't need it: answer N. config QNX4FS_RW bool "QNX4FS write support (DANGEROUS)" depends on QNX4FS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN help Say Y if you want to test write support for QNX4 file systems. It's currently broken, so for now: answer N. config ROMFS_FS tristate "ROM file system support" depends on BLOCK ---help--- This is a very small read-only file system mainly intended for initial ram disks of installation disks, but it could be used for other read-only media as well. Read <file:Documentation/filesystems/romfs.txt> for details. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called romfs. Note that the file system of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be a module. If you don't know whether you need it, then you don't need it: answer N. config SYSV_FS tristate "System V/Xenix/V7/Coherent file system support" depends on BLOCK help SCO, Xenix and Coherent are commercial Unix systems for Intel machines, and Version 7 was used on the DEC PDP-11. Saying Y here would allow you to read from their floppies and hard disk partitions. If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order to run these binaries, you will want to install linux-abi which is a set of kernel modules that lets you run SCO, Xenix, Wyse, UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux. It is available via FTP (user: ftp) from <ftp://ftp.openlinux.org/pub/people/hch/linux-abi/>). NOTE: that will work only for binaries from Intel-based systems; PDP ones will have to wait until somebody ports Linux to -11 ;-) If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the network using NFS, you don't need the System V file system support (but you need NFS file system support obviously). Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or preferably "info tar"). Note also that this option has nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about the System V file system in <file:Documentation/filesystems/sysv-fs.txt>. Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called sysv. If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N. config UFS_FS tristate "UFS file system support (read only)" depends on BLOCK help 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. Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or preferably "info tar"). When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program recode ("info recode") for this purpose. To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ufs. If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N. config UFS_FS_WRITE bool "UFS file system write support (DANGEROUS)" depends on UFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL help Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions. This is experimental, so you should back up your UFS partitions beforehand. config UFS_DEBUG bool "UFS debugging" depends on UFS_FS help If you are experiencing any problems with the UFS filesystem, say Y here. This will result in _many_ additional debugging messages to be written to the system log. endmenu menuconfig NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS bool "Network File Systems" default y depends on NET ---help--- Say Y here to get to see options for network filesystems and filesystem-related networking code, such as NFS daemon and RPCSEC security modules. This option alone does not add any kernel code. If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled; if unsure, say Y here. if NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS config NFS_FS tristate "NFS client support" depends on INET select LOCKD select SUNRPC select NFS_ACL_SUPPORT if NFS_V3_ACL help Choose Y here if you want to access files residing on other computers using Sun's Network File System protocol. To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called nfs. To mount file systems exported by NFS servers, you also need to install the user space mount.nfs command which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. Information about using the mount command is available in the mount(8) man page. More detail about the Linux NFS client implementation is available via the nfs(5) man page. Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are available in the kernel to mount NFS servers. Support for NFS version 2 (RFC 1094) is always available when NFS_FS is selected. To configure a system which mounts its root file system via NFS at boot time, say Y here, select "Kernel level IP autoconfiguration" in the NETWORK menu, and select "Root file system on NFS" below. You cannot compile this file system as a module in this case. If unsure, say N. config NFS_V3 bool "NFS client support for NFS version 3" depends on NFS_FS help This option enables support for version 3 of the NFS protocol (RFC 1813) in the kernel's NFS client. If unsure, say Y. config NFS_V3_ACL bool "NFS client support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension" depends on NFS_V3 help Some NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that Sun added to Solaris but 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 ACLs on local files whether this protocol is available or not. Choose Y here if your NFS server supports the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol extension and you want your NFS client to allow applications to access and modify ACLs on files on the server. Most NFS servers don't support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol extension. You can choose N here or specify the "noacl" mount option to prevent your NFS client from trying to use the NFSv3 ACL protocol. If unsure, say N. config NFS_V4 bool "NFS client support for NFS version 4 (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on NFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL select RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 help This option enables support for version 4 of the NFS protocol (RFC 3530) in the kernel's NFS client. To mount NFS servers using NFSv4, you also need to install user space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. If unsure, say N. config ROOT_NFS bool "Root file system on NFS" depends on NFS_FS=y && IP_PNP help If you want your system to mount its root file system via NFS, choose Y here. This is common practice for managing systems without local permanent storage. For details, read <file:Documentation/filesystems/nfsroot.txt>. Most people say N here. config NFSD tristate "NFS server support" depends on INET select LOCKD select SUNRPC select EXPORTFS select NFS_ACL_SUPPORT if NFSD_V2_ACL help 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 available to clients mounting the NFS server on this system. Support for NFS version 2 (RFC 1094) is always available when CONFIG_NFSD is selected. If unsure, say N. config NFSD_V2_ACL bool depends on NFSD config NFSD_V3 bool "NFS server support for NFS version 3" depends on NFSD help This option enables support in your system's NFS server for version 3 of the NFS protocol (RFC 1813). If unsure, say Y. 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. If unsure, say N. config NFSD_V4 bool "NFS server support for NFS version 4 (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on NFSD && PROC_FS && EXPERIMENTAL select NFSD_V3 select FS_POSIX_ACL select RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 help This option enables support in your system's NFS server for version 4 of the NFS protocol (RFC 3530). To export files using NFSv4, you need to install additional user space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/.

To compile RPC client RDMA transport support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called xprtrdma. If unsure, say N. config SUNRPC_REGISTER_V4 bool "Register local RPC services via rpcbind v4 (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on SUNRPC && EXPERIMENTAL default n help Sun added support for registering RPC services at an IPv6 address by creating two new versions of the rpcbind protocol (RFC 1833). This option enables support in the kernel RPC server for registering kernel RPC services via version 4 of the rpcbind protocol. If you enable this option, you must run a portmapper daemon that supports rpcbind protocol version 4. Serving NFS over IPv6 from knfsd (the kernel's NFS server) requires that you enable this option and use a portmapper that supports rpcbind version 4. If unsure, say N to get traditional behavior (register kernel RPC services using only rpcbind version 2). Distributions using the legacy Linux portmapper daemon must say N here. config RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 tristate "Secure RPC: Kerberos V mechanism (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on SUNRPC && EXPERIMENTAL select SUNRPC_GSS select CRYPTO select CRYPTO_MD5 select CRYPTO_DES select CRYPTO_CBC help Choose Y here to enable Secure RPC using the Kerberos version 5 GSS-API mechanism (RFC 1964). Secure RPC calls with Kerberos require an auxiliary user-space daemon which may be found in the Linux nfs-utils package available from http://linux-nfs.org/. In addition, user-space Kerberos support should be installed. If unsure, say N. config RPCSEC_GSS_SPKM3 tristate "Secure RPC: SPKM3 mechanism (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on SUNRPC && EXPERIMENTAL select SUNRPC_GSS select CRYPTO select CRYPTO_MD5 select CRYPTO_DES select CRYPTO_CAST5 select CRYPTO_CBC help Choose Y here to enable Secure RPC using the SPKM3 public key GSS-API mechansim (RFC 2025).

If unsure, say N. config SMB_FS tristate "SMB file system support (OBSOLETE, please use CIFS)" depends on INET 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 default "cp437" help 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 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters. smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this. source "fs/cifs/Kconfig" 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>. You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a file *server* for Novell NetWare clients. General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network. source "fs/ncpfs/Kconfig" 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 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. config AFS_FS tristate "Andrew File System support (AFS) (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on INET && EXPERIMENTAL select AF_RXRPC help If you say Y here, you will get an experimental Andrew File System driver. It currently only supports unsecured read-only AFS access. See <file:Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt> for more information.
