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

539	  If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
540	  VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
541	  to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
542	  diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
543	  files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
544	  other Unix files.
545
546	  This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
547	  the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
548	  M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
549	  order to make use of it.
550
551	  Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
552	  partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
553	  mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
554	  order to do that.
555
556	  If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
557	  Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
558	  file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
559	  available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
560
561	  It is now also becoming possible to read and write compressed FAT
562	  file systems; read <file:Documentation/filesystems/fat_cvf.txt> for
563	  details.
564
565	  The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
566	  say Y.
567
568	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
569	  fat.  Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you
570	  cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel

671	  performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to
672	  be written to the system log.  Note that debugging messages are

705	  write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
706	  is not safe.

1543	  SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
1544	  (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
1545	  files and printers over local networks.  Saying Y here allows you to
1546	  mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
1547	  access them just like any other Unix directory.  Currently, this
1548	  works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
1549	  transport protocol, and not NetBEUI.  For details, read
1550	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
1551	  available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1552
1553	  Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
1554	  files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
1555	  to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
1556	  the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
1557	  for that.

1599	  This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
1600	  (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
1601	  (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
1602	  PC operating systems.  The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
1603	  file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
1604	  and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
1605	  server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Currently
1606	  you must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
1607	  such as Windows 9x and OS/2.
1608
1609	  The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced
1610	  network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers,
1611	  including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
1612	  session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
1613	  packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements,
1614	  and optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. You do not need to enable
1615	  cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both
1616	  smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003
1617	  and Samba 3 servers, and smbfs for accessing old servers). If you need

1690	  enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them

1700	  no kernel support.  Please read
