While fixing CONFIG_ leakages to the userspace kernel headers I ran into
CODA_FS_OLD_API.
After five years, are there still people using the old API left?
Especially considering that you have to choose at compile time which API
to support in the kernel (and distributions tend to offer the new API for
some time).
Jan: "The old API can definitely go. Around the time the new
interface went in there were some non-Coda userspace file system
implementations that took a while longer to convert to the new API,
but by now they all switched to the new interface or in some cases
to a FUSE-based solution."

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

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.

Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which contacts userspace

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.
