Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced

Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
architectural foundations.
In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed
for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.
It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support
plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
make source code open.''
Read <http://www.namesys.com/> to learn more about reiserfs.

If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
other Unix files.
This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
order to make use of it.
Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
order to do that.
If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
say Y.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
fat. Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you
cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel

config MSDOS_FS

here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes
transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all
other Unix files.
If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS
partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs

generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT.
This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure,
answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support"
as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called msdos.
config VFAT_FS

This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with
long filenames. That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems
used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix
programs from the mtools package.
The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only
works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read

NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but
safe, write support available. For write support you must also
say Y to "NTFS write support" below.
There are also a number of user-space tools available, called
ntfsprogs. These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work
without NTFS support enabled in the kernel.
This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced
the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to
the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch
from the project web site.
For more information see <file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt>
and <http://www.linux-ntfs.org/>.

Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.
config NTFS_DEBUG
bool "NTFS debugging support"

help
If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say
Y here. This will result in additional consistency checks to be
performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to
be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are
disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1
at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option
to insmod when loading the ntfs module. Once the driver is active,
you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.
If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little
overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant
slowdown of the system.
When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of
debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring.
config NTFS_RW
bool "NTFS write support"
depends on NTFS_FS
help
This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.
The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
be written to.
While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
so far not received a single report where the driver would have
damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
is not safe.
This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run
on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
need its own partition. For more information see

kernel, such as the devices the kernel has discovered on each bus and
which driver each is bound to. sysfs can also be used to tune devices
and other kernel subsystems.
Some system agents rely on the information in sysfs to operate.
/sbin/hotplug uses device and object attributes in sysfs to assist in
delegating policy decisions, like persistently naming devices.
sysfs is currently used by the block subsystem to mount the root
partition. If sysfs is disabled you must specify the boot device on
the kernel boot command line via its major and minor numbers. For
example, "root=03:01" for /dev/hda1.

translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset
default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.

tristate "NCP file system support (to mount NetWare volumes)"
depends on IPX!=n || INET
help
NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
<file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
ncpfs. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network.

config CODA_FS
tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)"
depends on INET
help
Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
persistent client caches and write back caching.
If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
*client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
no kernel support. Please read
<file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called coda.
config AFS_FS
tristate "Andrew File System support (AFS) (EXPERIMENTAL)"

select AF_RXRPC
help
If you say Y here, you will get an experimental Andrew File System
driver. It currently only supports unsecured read-only AFS access.
See <file:Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt> for more information.
If unsure, say N.
config AFS_DEBUG

Say Y here to make runtime controllable debugging messages appear.
See <file:Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt> for more information.
If unsure, say N.

If you say Y here, you will get experimental support for
Plan 9 resource sharing via the 9P2000 protocol.
See <http://v9fs.sf.net> for more information.
If unsure, say N.
