| tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)" |
| 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. |
