- The journalling code included in this driver means you do not have

- at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
- is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.

- of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch

- file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
- system.

- or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
- than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
- support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
- (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
- CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.

-config CIFS_DEBUG2
- bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"
- depends on CIFS
- help
- Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
- to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
- the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
- messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
- option can be turned off unless you are debugging
- cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

-config CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
- bool "CIFS Experimental Features (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on CIFS && EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- Enables cifs features under testing. These features are
- experimental and currently include DFS support and directory
- change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY), as well as the upcall
- mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation
- and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on
- setting a value of 1 to the pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental
- (which is disabled by default). See the file fs/cifs/README
- for more details. If unsure, say N.

-config CIFS_UPCALL
- bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
- depends on CONNECTOR
- help
- Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which will be used to contact
- userspace helper utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged Kerberos
- tickets which are needed to mount to certain secure servers
- (for which more secure Kerberos authentication is required). If
- unsure, say N.

To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called coda.
-config CODA_FS_OLD_API
- bool "Use 96-bit Coda file identifiers"
- depends on CODA_FS
- help
- A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0
- to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the
- new realms implementation.
-
- However this new API is not backward compatible with older
- clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace
- cache manager then say Y.

- For most cases you probably want to say N.
