77 | This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system | |
78 | (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system | |
79 | (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks. | |
80 | ||
81 | The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have | |
82 | to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a | |
83 | crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made | |
84 | at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system | |
85 | is consistent without the need for a lengthy check. | |
86 | ||
87 | Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format | |
88 | of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch | |
89 | between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the | |
90 | file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file | |
91 | system. | |
92 | ||
93 | To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the | |
94 | behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man | |
95 | tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3 | |
96 | file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using | |
97 | e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals | |
98 | (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>). | |
99 | ||

1366 | If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely | |
1367 | that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order | |

1370 | UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux. It is | |
1371 | available via FTP (user: ftp) from | |
1372 | <ftp://ftp.openlinux.org/pub/people/hch/linux-abi/>). | |

1799 | Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions | |
1800 | (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos) | |
1801 | security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely | |
1802 | than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the | |
1803 | SMB protocol needed to establish sessions with old SMB servers. | |
1804 | ||
1805 | Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older | |
1806 | LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such | |
1807 | mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent | |
1808 | security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you | |
1809 | have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private | |
1810 | network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support | |
1811 | is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used | |
1812 | automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but | |

1814 | /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an | |

1912 | Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it | |
1913 | enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them | |
1914 | with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard | |

1916 | disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server | |

1918 | persistent client caches and write back caching. | |
