| 6 | Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it | |
| 7 | enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them | |
| 8 | with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard | |
| 9 | disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for | |
| 10 | disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server | |
| 11 | replication, security model for authentication and encryption, | |
| 12 | persistent client caches and write back caching. | |

| 14 | If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda | |
| 15 | *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the | |
| 16 | client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need | |
| 17 | no kernel support. Please read | |
| f476c6ed | 18 | <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.rst> and check out the Coda |

| 21 | To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the | |
| 22 | module will be called coda. |
