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.
