I noticed recently that my CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5 turned into a y again instead of m. It turns out that CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is selecting it to be y even though I've chosen to compile nfsd as a module. In general when we have a bool sitting under a tristate it is better to select things you need from the tristate rather than the bool since that allows the things you select to be modules. The following patch does it for nfsd.

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/>).

Boot File System (BFS) is a file system used under SCO UnixWare to
|
|
allow the bootloader access to the kernel image and other important
|
|
files during the boot process. It is usually mounted under /stand
|
|
and corresponds to the slice marked as "STAND" in the UnixWare
|
|
partition. You should say Y if you want to read or write the files
|
|
on your /stand slice from within Linux. You then also need to say Y
|
|
to "UnixWare slices support", below. More information about the BFS
|
|
file system is contained in the file
|
|
<file:Documentation/filesystems/bfs.txt>.
|

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

To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called

bfs. Note that the file system of your root partition (the one
|
|
containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.

no alignment restrictions.

much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for

you. Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network

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,

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

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. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
|
|
file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
|
|
and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
|

server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited

support for Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well.
|
|
You must use the smbfs client filesystem to access older SMB servers

such as OS/2 and DOS.

The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced

session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional

cifs if running only a (Samba) server. It is possible to enable both

smbfs and cifs (e.g. if you are using CIFS for accessing Windows 2003

user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients

persistent client caches and write back caching.
