this is what i had in mind for fs/Kconfig

From: Robert P. J. Day (rpjday@mindspring.com)
Date: Sun Jan 12 2003 - 02:26:43 EST


  swap the following file in place of your current fs/Kconfig,
and run "make xconfig". i added matching labels to the several
"bool" or "tristate" statements so that those options would
appear in the menu (although i'm not sure if they were supposed
to be non-displaying or not).

  i also found this wild feature that lets me add leading stars
to show dependencies so i can edit the file in emacs outline
mode, expanding and collapsing sections for convenience.

  i'm going to sleep now.

** config EXT2_FS
        tristate "Second extended fs support"
        ---help---
          This is the de facto standard Linux file system (method to organize
          files on a storage device) for hard disks.

          You want to say Y here, unless you intend to use Linux exclusively
          from inside a DOS partition using the UMSDOS file system. The
          advantage of the latter is that you can get away without
          repartitioning your hard drive (which often implies backing
          everything up and restoring afterwards); the disadvantage is that
          Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and that UMSDOS is somewhat
          slower than ext2fs. Even if you want to run Linux in this fashion,
          it might be a good idea to have ext2fs around: it enables you to
          read more floppy disks and facilitates the transition to a *real*
          Linux partition later. Another (rare) case which doesn't require
          ext2fs is a diskless Linux box which mounts all files over the
          network using NFS (in this case it's sufficient to say Y to "NFS
          file system support" below). Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel
          by about 44 KB.

          The Ext2fs-Undeletion mini-HOWTO, available from
          <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, gives information about
          how to retrieve deleted files on ext2fs file systems.

          To change the behavior of ext2 file systems, you can use the tune2fs
          utility ("man tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and
          directories on ext2 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr").

          Ext2fs partitions can be read from within DOS using the ext2tool
          command line tool package (available from
          <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/ext2/>) and from
          within Windows NT using the ext2nt command line tool package from
          <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/dos/>. Explore2fs is a
          graphical explorer for ext2fs partitions which runs on Windows 95
          and Windows NT and includes experimental write support; it is
          available from
          <http://jnewbigin-pc.it.swin.edu.au/Linux/Explore2fs.htm>.

          If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which
          can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
          want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The
          module will be called ext2.o. Be aware however that the file system
          of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
          be compiled as a module, and so this could be dangerous. Most
          everyone wants to say Y here.
*** config EXT2_FS_XATTR
        bool "Ext2 extended attributes"
        depends on EXT2_FS
        ---help---
          Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
          the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
          <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).

          If unsure, say N.
**** config EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL
        bool "Ext2 POSIX Access Control Lists"
        depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR
        ---help---
          Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
          groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

          To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
          Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

          If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
** config EXT3_FS
        tristate "Ext3 journalling file system support"
        ---help---
          This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
          (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
          (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.

          The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
          to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
          crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
          at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
          is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.

          Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
          of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
          between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
          file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
          system.

          To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
          behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
          tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
          file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
          e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
          (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).

          If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which
          can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
          want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The
          module will be called ext3.o. Be aware however that the file system
          of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
          be compiled as a module, and so this may be dangerous.
*** config EXT3_FS_XATTR
        bool "Ext3 extended attributes"
        depends on EXT3_FS
        default y
        ---help---
          Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
          the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
          <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).

          If unsure, say N.

          You need this for POSIX ACL support on ext3.
**** config EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL
        bool "Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists"
        depends on EXT3_FS_XATTR
        ---help---
          Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
          groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

          If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N

*** config JBD
        bool "JBD"
        default EXT3_FS
        ---help---
          This is a generic journaling layer for block devices. It is
          currently used by the ext3 file system, but it could also be used to
          add journal support to other file systems or block devices such as
          RAID or LVM.

          If you are using the ext3 file system, you need to say Y here. If
          you are not using ext3 then you will probably want to say N.

          If you want to compile this device as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
          will be called jbd.o. If you are compiling ext3 into the kernel,
          you cannot compile this code as a module.
*** config JBD_DEBUG
        bool "JBD (ext3) debugging support"
        depends on JBD
        ---help---
          If you are using the ext3 journaled file system (or potentially any
          other file system/device using JBD), this option allows you to
          enable debugging output while the system is running, in order to
          help track down any problems you are having. By default the
          debugging output will be turned off.

          If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
          with "echo N > /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug", where N is a number between
          1 and 5, the higher the number, the more debugging output is
          generated. To turn debugging off again, do
          "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug".
** config FS_MBCACHE
        tristate "FS_MBCACHE"
        depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR || EXT3_FS_XATTR
        default y if EXT2_FS=y || EXT3_FS=y
        default m if EXT2_FS=m || EXT3_FS=m
** config REISERFS_FS
        tristate "Reiserfs support"
        ---help---
          Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
          tree. Uses journaling.

          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.reiserfs.org/> 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.reiserfs.org/> to learn more about reiserfs.

          Sponsored by Threshold Networks, Emusic.com, and Bigstorage.com.

          If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you
          need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS.
*** config REISERFS_CHECK
        bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode"
        depends on REISERFS_FS
        ---help---
          If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can
          possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its
          operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we
          have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the
          latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all
          out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its
          effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug
          report, say Y and you might get a useful error message. Almost
          everyone should say N.

**** config REISERFS_PROC_INFO
        bool "Stats in /proc/fs/reiserfs"
        depends on REISERFS_FS
        ---help---
          Create under /proc/fs/reiserfs a hierarchy of files, displaying
          various ReiserFS statistics and internal data at the expense of
          making your kernel or module slightly larger (+8 KB). This also
          increases the amount of kernel memory required for each mount.
          Almost everyone but ReiserFS developers and people fine-tuning
          reiserfs or tracing problems should say N.
** config FS_POSIX_ACL
        bool "FS_POSIX_ACL"
        depends on EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL || EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL || JFS_POSIX_ACL
        default y
** config JFS_FS
        tristate "JFS filesystem support"
        ---help---
          This is a port of IBM's Journaled Filesystem . More information is
          available in the file Documentation/filesystems/jfs.txt.

          If you do not intend to use the JFS filesystem, say N.
*** config JFS_POSIX_ACL
        bool "JFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
        depends on JFS_FS
        ---help---
          Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
          groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

          To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
          Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.

          If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
*** config JFS_DEBUG
        bool "JFS debugging"
        depends on JFS_FS
        ---help---
          If you are experiencing any problems with the JFS filesystem, say
          Y here. This will result in additional debugging messages to be
          written to the system log. Under normal circumstances, this
          results in very little overhead.
*** config JFS_STATISTICS
        bool "JFS statistics"
        depends on JFS_FS
        ---help---
          Enabling this option will cause statistics from the JFS file system
          to be made available to the user in the /proc/fs/jfs/ directory.
** config FS_POSIX_ACL
        bool "FS_POSIX_ACL"
        depends on EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL || EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL || JFS_POSIX_ACL
        default y
** config XFS_FS
        tristate "XFS filesystem support"
        ---help---
          XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
          on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can
          support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
          variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
          Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
          and scalability.

          Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/>
          for complete details. This implementation is on-disk compatible
          with the IRIX version of XFS.

          If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which
          can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
          want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The
          module will be called xfs.o. Be aware, however, that if the file
          system of your root partition is compiled as a module, you'll need
          to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) to boot.
*** config XFS_RT
        bool "Realtime support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on XFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
        ---help---
          If you say Y here you will be able to mount and use XFS filesystems
          which contain a realtime subvolume. The realtime subvolume is a
          separate area of disk space where only file data is stored. The
          realtime subvolume is designed to provide very deterministic
          data rates suitable for media streaming applications.

          See the xfs man page in section 5 for a bit more information.

          This feature is unsupported at this time, is not yet fully
          functional, and may cause serious problems.

          If unsure, say N.
*** config XFS_QUOTA
        bool "Quota support"
        depends on XFS_FS
        ---help---
          If you say Y here, you will be able to set limits for disk usage on
          a per user and/or a per group basis under XFS. XFS considers quota
          information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a
          higher level guarantee of consistency. The on-disk data format for
          quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a
          filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need
          for conversion.

          If unsure, say N. More comprehensive documentation can be found in
          README.quota in the xfsprogs package. XFS quota can be used either
          with or without the generic quota support enabled (CONFIG_QUOTA) -
          they are completely independent subsystems.
*** config XFS_POSIX_ACL
        bool "ACL support"
        depends on XFS_FS
        ---help---
          Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
          groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.

** config MINIX_FS
        tristate "Minix fs support"
        ---help---
          Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's.
          The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk
          partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux,
          but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.
          You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk
          because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found
          on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel
          by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N.

          If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
          will be called minix.o. Note that the file system of your root
          partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as
          a module.
** config ROMFS_FS
        tristate "ROM file system support"
        ---help---
          This is a very small read-only file system mainly intended for
          initial ram disks of installation disks, but it could be used for
          other read-only media as well. Read
          <file:Documentation/filesystems/romfs.txt> for details.

          This file system support is also available as a module ( = code
          which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel
          whenever you want). The module is called romfs.o. If you want to
          compile it as a module, say M here and read
          <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. Note that the file system of your
          root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be a
          module.

          If you don't know whether you need it, then you don't need it:
          answer N.
** config QUOTA
        bool "Quota support"
        ---help---
          If you say Y here, you will be able to set per user limits for disk
          usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works for the
          ext2, ext3, and reiserfs file system. You need additional software
          in order to use quota support (you can download sources from
          <http://www.sf.net/projects/linuxquota/>). For further details, read
          the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from
          <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Probably the quota
          support is only useful for multi user systems. If unsure, say N.
*** config QFMT_V1
        tristate "Old quota format support"
        depends on QUOTA
        ---help---
          This quota format was (is) used by kernels earlier than 2.4.??. If
          you have quota working and you don't want to convert to new quota
          format say Y here.
*** config QFMT_V2
        tristate "Quota format v2 support"
        depends on QUOTA
        ---help---
          This quota format allows using quotas with 32-bit UIDs/GIDs. If you
          need this functionality say Y here. Note that you will need latest
          quota utilities for new quota format with this kernel.
*** config QUOTACTL
        bool "QUOTACTL"
        depends on XFS_QUOTA || QUOTA
        default y
** config AUTOFS_FS
        tristate "Kernel automounter support"
** config AUTOFS4_FS
        tristate "Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3)"
        ---help---
          The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
          on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
          overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
          automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.

          To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
          <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/testing-v4/>; you also
          want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.

          If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
          will be called autofs4.o. You will need to add "alias autofs
          autofs4" to your modulesconfiguration file.

          If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or
          don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the
          local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say
          N here.
** config HUGETLBFS
        bool "HugeTLB file system support"
        depends on HUGETLB_PAGE

** comment "***** DOS/FAT/NTFS filesystems."

** config FAT_FS
        tristate "DOS FAT fs support"
        ---help---
          If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS,
          VFAT (Windows 95) and UMSDOS (used to run Linux on top of an
          ordinary DOS partition) 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").

          It is now also becoming possible to read and write compressed FAT
          file systems; read <file:Documentation/filesystems/fat_cvf.txt> for
          details.

          The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
          say Y.

          If you want to compile this as a module however ( = code which can
          be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
          want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The
          module will be called fat.o. Note that if you compile the FAT
          support as a module, you cannot compile any of the FAT-based file
          systems into the kernel -- they will have to be modules as well.
          The file system of your root partition (the one containing the
          directory /) cannot be a module, so don't say M here if you intend
          to use UMSDOS as your root file system.
*** config MSDOS_FS
        tristate "MSDOS fs support"
        depends on FAT_FS
        ---help---
          This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless
          they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under
          Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the
          DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
          <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in
          <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/>. If you
          intend to use dosemu with a non-compressed MSDOS partition, say Y
          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 want to use UMSDOS, the Unix-like file system on top of a
          DOS file system, which allows you to run Linux from within a DOS
          partition without repartitioning, you'll have to say Y or M here.

          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
          support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames
          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. If you want to compile this as a module however ( = code
          which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel
          whenever you want), say M here and read
          <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
          The module will be called msdos.o.
*** config VFAT_FS
        tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support"
        depends on FAT_FS
        ---help---
          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.

          You cannot use the VFAT file system for your Linux root partition
          (the one containing the directory /); use UMSDOS instead if you
          want to run Linux from within a DOS partition (i.e. say Y to
          "Unix like fs on top of std MSDOS fs", below).

          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
          the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for details. If
          unsure, say Y.

          If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be

          will be called vfat.o.
*** config UMSDOS_FS
        bool "UMSDOS"
        depends on FAT_FS
        default n
        ---help---
          Say Y here if you want to run Linux from within an existing DOS
          partition of your hard drive. The advantage of this is that you can
          get away without repartitioning your hard drive (which often implies
          backing everything up and restoring afterwards) and hence you're
          able to quickly try out Linux or show it to your friends; the
          disadvantage is that Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and
          that UMSDOS is somewhat slower than ext2fs. Another use of UMSDOS
          is to write files with long unix filenames to MSDOS floppies; it
          also allows Unix-style soft-links and owner/permissions of files on
          MSDOS floppies. You will need a program called umssync in order to
          make use of UMSDOS; read
          <file:Documentation/filesystems/umsdos.txt>.

          To get utilities for initializing/checking UMSDOS file system, or
          latest patches and/or information, visit the UMSDOS home page at

          This option enlarges your kernel by about 28 KB and it only works if
          you said Y to both "DOS FAT fs support" and "MSDOS fs support"
          above. If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can
          be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
          want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The

*** config NTFS_DEBUG
        bool "NTFS debugging support"
        depends on NTFS_FS
        ---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 (DANGEROUS)"

          This enables the experimental write support in the NTFS driver.

          WARNING: Do not use this option unless you are actively developing
          NTFS as it is currently guaranteed to be broken and you
          may lose all your data!

          It is strongly recommended and perfectly safe to say N here.

          This is the standard file system used on CD-ROMs. It was previously
          known as "High Sierra File System" and is called "hsfs" on other
          Unix systems. The so-called Rock-Ridge extensions which allow for
          long Unix filenames and symbolic links are also supported by this

** comment "***** Pseudo filesystems??"

** config PROC_FS
        bool "/proc file system support"
        ---help---
          This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
          of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
          your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
          you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
          version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.

          It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
          information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
          (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
          that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
          often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenlyconfigured
          to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
          information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.

          Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
          meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
          That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
          /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.

          The /proc file system is explained in the file
          <file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage
          ("man 5 proc").

          This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB. Several

        depends on EXPERIMENTAL
        ---help---
          This is support for devfs, a virtual file system (like /proc) which
          provides the file system interface to device drivers, normally found
          in /dev. Devfs does not depend on major and minor number
          allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then
          appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does
          not have to create character and block special device files in the
          /dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore.

          This is work in progress. If you want to use this, you *must* read
          the material in <file:Documentation/filesystems/devfs/>, especially
          the file README there.

          If unsure, say N.
*** config DEVFS_MOUNT
        bool "Automatically mount at boot"
        depends on DEVFS_FS
        ---help---
          This option appears if you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS enabled. Setting
          this to 'Y' will make the kernel automatically mount devfs onto /dev
          when the system is booted, before the init thread is started.
          You can override this with the "devfs=nomount" boot option.

          If unsure, say N.
*** config DEVFS_DEBUG

        depends on UNIX98_PTYS
        ---help---
          You should say Y here if you said Y to "Unix98 PTY support" above.
          You'll then get a virtual file system which can be mounted on
          /dev/pts with "mount -t devpts". This, together with the pseudo
          terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx, is used for pseudo terminal
          support as described in The Open Group's Unix98 standard: in order
          to acquire a pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number
          of the pseudo terminal is then made available to the process and the
          pseudo terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
          traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.

          The GNU C library glibc 2.1 contains the requisite support for this
          mode of operation; you also need client programs that use the Unix98
          API. Please read <file:Documentation/Changes> for more information
          about the Unix98 pty devices.

          Saying Y here includes support for CramFs (Compressed ROM File
          System). CramFs is designed to be a simple, small, and compressed
          file system for ROM based embedded systems. CramFs is read-only,
          limited to 256MB file systems (with 16MB files), and doesn't support
          16/32 bits uid/gid, hard links and timestamps.

          Tmpfs is a file system which keeps all files in virtual memory.

          Everything in tmpfs is temporary in the sense that no files will be
          created on your hard drive. The files live in memory and swap
          space. If you unmount a tmpfs instance, everything stored therein is

        ---help---
          BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
          OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
          Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
          this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
          these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
          experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
          file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information.

          If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
          network using NFS, you don't need the UFS file system support (but
          you need NFS file system support obviously).

          Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
          good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
          (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
          tar" or preferably "info tar").

          When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
          NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
          recode ("info recode") for this purpose.

          If you want to compile the UFS file system support as a module ( =

        bool "QNX4FS write support (DANGEROUS)"
        depends on QNX4FS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
        ---help---
          Say Y if you want to test write support for QNX4 file systems.

          It's currently broken, so for now:
          answer N.
** config SYSV_FS
        tristate "System V/Xenix/V7/Coherent file system support"
        ---help---
          SCO, Xenix and Coherent are commercial Unix systems for Intel
          machines, and Version 7 was used on the DEC PDP-11. Saying Y
          here would allow you to read from their floppies and hard disk
          partitions.

          If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely
          that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order
          to run these binaries, you will want to install linux-abi which is a
          a set of kernel modules that lets you run SCO, Xenix, Wyse,
          UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux. It is
          available via FTP (user: ftp) from
          <ftp://ftp.openlinux.org/pub/people/hch/linux-abi/>).
          NOTE: that will work only for binaries from Intel-based systems;
          PDP ones will have to wait until somebody ports Linux to -11 ;-)

          If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
          network using NFS, you don't need the System V file system support
          (but you need NFS file system support obviously).

          Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
          good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
          (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
          tar" or preferably "info tar"). Note also that this option has
          nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about
          the System V file system in
          <file:Documentation/filesystems/sysv-fs.txt>.
          Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB.

          If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
          will be called sysv.o.

          If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N.

*** 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/>.

          If you want to compile the coda client support as a module ( = code
          which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel
          whenever you want), say M here and read
          <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module will be called coda.o.

*** config INTERMEZZO_FS
        tristate "InterMezzo file system support (replicating fs) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on INET && EXPERIMENTAL
        help
          InterMezzo is a networked file system with disconnected operation
          and kernel level write back caching. It is most often used for
          replicating potentially large trees or keeping laptop/desktop copies
          in sync.

          If you say Y or M your kernel or module will provide InterMezzo
          support. You will also need a file server daemon, which you can get
          from <http://www.inter-mezzo.org/>.

*** config NFS_FS
        tristate "NFS file system support"
        depends on INET
        ---help---
          If you are connected to some other (usually local) Unix computer
          (using SLIP, PLIP, PPP or Ethernet) and want to mount files residing
          on that computer (the NFS server) using the Network File Sharing
          protocol, say Y. "Mounting files" means that the client can access
          the files with usual UNIX commands as if they were sitting on the
          client's hard disk. For this to work, the server must run the
          programs nfsd and mountd (but does not need to have NFS file system
          support enabled in its kernel). NFS is explained in the Network
          Administrator's Guide, available from
          <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#guide>, on its man page: "man
          nfs", and in the NFS-HOWTO.

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

          If you say Y here, you should have said Y to TCP/IP networking also.
          This option would enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB.

          This file system is also available as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
          The module is called nfs.o. If you want to compile it as a module,
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.

          If you areconfiguring a diskless machine which will mount its root
          file system over NFS at boot time, say Y here and to "Kernel
          level IP autoconfiguration" above and to "Root file system on NFS"
          below. You cannot compile this driver as a module in this case.
          There are two packages designed for booting diskless machines over
          the net: netboot, available from
          <http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/netboot/>, and Etherboot,
          available from <http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/etherboot/>.

          If you don't know what all this is about, say N.

*** config NFS_V3
        bool "Provide NFSv3 client support"
        depends on NFS_FS
        ---help---
          Say Y here if you want your NFS client to be able to speak the newer
          version 3 of the NFS protocol.

          If unsure, say N.

*** config NFS_V4
        bool "Provide NFSv4 client support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on NFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
        ---help---
          Say Y here if you want your NFS client to be able to speak the newer
          version 4 of the NFS protocol. This feature is experimental, and
          should only be used if you are interested in helping to test NFSv4.

          If unsure, say N.

*** config ROOT_NFS
        bool "Root file system on NFS"
        depends on NFS_FS=y && IP_PNP
        ---help---
          If you want your Linux box to mount its whole root file system (the
          one containing the directory /) from some other computer over the
          net via NFS (presumably because your box doesn't have a hard disk),
          say Y. Read <file:Documentation/nfsroot.txt> for details. It is
          likely that in this case, you also want to say Y to "Kernel level IP
          autoconfiguration" so that your box can discover its network address
          at boot time.

          Most people say N here.

*** config NFSD
        tristate "NFS server support"
        depends on INET
        ---help---
          If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other
          computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain
          directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can
          use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you
          should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS
          server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is
          faster.

          In either case, you will need support software; the respective
          locations are given in the file <file:Documentation/Changes> in the
          NFS section.

          If you say Y here, you will get support for version 2 of the NFS
          protocol (NFSv2). If you also want NFSv3, say Y to the next question
          as well.

          Please read the NFS-HOWTO, available from
          <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.

          The NFS server is also available as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
          The module is called nfsd.o. If you want to compile it as a module,
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. If unsure,
          say N.

*** config NFSD_V3
        bool "Provide NFSv3 server support"
        depends on NFSD
        ---help---
          If you would like to include the NFSv3 server as well as the NFSv2
          server, say Y here. If unsure, say Y.

*** config NFSD_V4
        bool "Provide NFSv4 server support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on NFSD_V3 && EXPERIMENTAL
        ---help---
          If you would like to include the NFSv4 server as well as the NFSv2
          and NFSv3 servers, say Y here. This feature is experimental, and
          should only be used if you are interested in helping to test NFSv4.
          If unsure, say N.

*** config NFSD_TCP
        bool "Provide NFS server over TCP support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on NFSD && EXPERIMENTAL
        ---help---
          Enable NFS service over TCP connections. This the officially
          still experimental, but seems to work well.

*** config CIFS
        tristate "CIFS support (advanced network filesystem for Samba, Window and other CIFS compliant servers)(EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on INET
        ---help---
          This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
          (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
          (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
          PC operating systems. CIFS is fully supported by current network
          file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows NT version 4
          and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
          server support for Linux and many other operating systems). For
          production systems the smbfs module may be used instead of this
          cifs module since smbfs is currently more stable and provides
          support for older servers. The intent of this module is to provide the
          most advanced network file system function for CIFS compliant servers,
          including support for dfs (heirarchical name space), secure per-user
          session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional
          packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements, and
          optional Winbind (nsswitch) integration. This module is in an early
          development stage, so unless you are specifically interested in this
          filesystem, just say N.

*** config SMB_FS
        tristate "SMB file system support (to mount Windows shares etc.)"
        depends on INET
        ---help---
          SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
          (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
          files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to
          mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
          access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this
          works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
          transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read
          <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
          available from <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.

          Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
          files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
          to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
          the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
          for that.

          General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
          Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

          If you want to compile the SMB support as a module ( = code which
          can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
          want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The
          module will be called smbfs.o. Most people say N, however.

*** config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
        bool "Use a default NLS"
        depends on SMB_FS
        ---help---
          Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You
          need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls
          settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
          CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.

          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.

*** config SMB_NLS_REMOTE
        string "Default Remote NLS Option"
        depends on SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
        default "cp437"
        ---help---
          This setting allows you to specify a default value for which
          codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no
          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.

*** config NCP_FS
        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.linuxdoc.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>.

          If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
          say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
          will be called ncpfs.o. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell
          network.
