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

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"

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.

config NTFS_FS

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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
