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

560	  other Unix files.
561
562	  This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides

1542	  SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
1543	  (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
1544	  files and printers over local networks.  Saying Y here allows you to
1545	  mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
1546	  access them just like any other Unix directory.  Currently, this
1547	  works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
1548	  transport protocol, and not NetBEUI.  For details, read
1549	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
1550	  available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1551
1552	  Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
1553	  files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
1554	  to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
1555	  the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)

1598	  This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
1599	  (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
1600	  (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
1601	  PC operating systems.  The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
1602	  file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
1603	  and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
1604	  server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
1605	  support for Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well.
1606	  You must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers
1607	  such as OS/2 and DOS.
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

1722	  enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
1723	  with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
