help
Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
tree. Uses journalling.
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.
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 && PROC_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 REISERFS_FS_XATTR
bool "ReiserFS extended attributes"
depends on REISERFS_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.

Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and

Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
config REISERFS_FS_SECURITY
bool "ReiserFS Security Labels"
depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR
help
Security labels support alternative access control models
implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
enables an extended attribute handler for file security
labels in the ReiserFS filesystem.
If you are not using a security module that requires using
extended attributes for file security labels, say N.

extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
config JFS_DEBUG
bool "JFS debugging"

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

Enabling this option will cause statistics from the JFS file system
to be made available to the user in the /proc/fs/jfs/ directory.

help
OCFS2 is a general purpose extent based shared disk cluster file
system with many similarities to ext3. It supports 64 bit inode
numbers, and has automatically extending metadata groups which may
also make it attractive for non-clustered use.
You'll want to install the ocfs2-tools package in order to at least
get "mount.ocfs2".

config OCFS2_FS_O2CB
tristate "O2CB Kernelspace Clustering"
depends on OCFS2_FS
default y
help
OCFS2 includes a simple kernelspace clustering package, the OCFS2
Cluster Base. It only requires a very small userspace component
to configure it. This comes with the standard ocfs2-tools package.
O2CB is limited to maintaining a cluster for OCFS2 file systems.
It cannot manage any other cluster applications.
It is always safe to say Y here, as the clustering method is
run-time selectable.
config OCFS2_FS_USERSPACE_CLUSTER
tristate "OCFS2 Userspace Clustering"
depends on OCFS2_FS && DLM
default y
help
This option will allow OCFS2 to use userspace clustering services
in conjunction with the DLM in fs/dlm. If you are using a
userspace cluster manager, say Y here.
It is safe to say Y, as the clustering method is run-time
selectable.
config OCFS2_FS_STATS

help
This option allows some fs statistics to be captured. Enabling
this option may increase the memory consumption.

This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides

Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive

If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say

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

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

The sysfs filesystem is a virtual filesystem that the kernel uses to

Users can use sysfs to ascertain useful information about the running
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
