Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for 9*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server 10*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan replication, security model for authentication and encryption, 11*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan persistent client caches and write back caching. 12*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan 13*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda 14*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the 15*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need 16*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan no kernel support. Please read 17*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda 18*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>. 19*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan 20*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the 21*33a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan module will be called coda. 22
