Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for 12771da177e4SLinus Torvalds disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server 12781da177e4SLinus Torvalds replication, security model for authentication and encryption, 12791da177e4SLinus Torvalds persistent client caches and write back caching. 12801da177e4SLinus Torvalds 12811da177e4SLinus Torvalds If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda 12821da177e4SLinus Torvalds *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the 12831da177e4SLinus Torvalds client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need 12841da177e4SLinus Torvalds no kernel support.
