Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for 933a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server 1033a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan replication, security model for authentication and encryption, 1133a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan persistent client caches and write back caching. 1233a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan 1333a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda 1433a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the 1533a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need 1633a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan no kernel support. Please read 1733a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda 1833a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>. 1933a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan 2033a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the 2133a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan module will be called coda. 22
