2 tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)"
5 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
6 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
7 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
8 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
9 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
10 replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
11 persistent client caches and write back caching.
13 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
14 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the
15 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
16 no kernel support. Please read
17 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
18 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
20 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
21 module will be called coda.
