821da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
831da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  crash.  The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
841da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system

961da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  file systems, use chattr ("man chattr").  You need to be using

14081da177e4SLinus Torvalds          The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
14091da177e4SLinus Torvalds          READ-ONLY supported.
14101da177e4SLinus Torvalds
14111da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
14121da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  network using NFS, you don't need the UFS file system support (but
14131da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  you need NFS file system support obviously).
14141da177e4SLinus Torvalds
14151da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
14161da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
14171da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
14181da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  tar" or preferably "info tar").
14191da177e4SLinus Torvalds
14201da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
14211da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
14221da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  recode ("info recode") for this purpose.

14241da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the

14611da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  client's hard disk. For this to work, the server must run the
14621da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  programs nfsd and mountd (but does not need to have NFS file system
14631da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  support enabled in its kernel). NFS is explained in the Network

14671da177e4SLinus Torvalds
14681da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  A superior but less widely used alternative to NFS is provided by
14691da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  the Coda file system; see "Coda file system support" below.
