Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for 1033a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server 1133a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan replication, security model for authentication and encryption, 1233a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan persistent client caches and write back caching. 1333a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan 1433a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda 1533a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the 1633a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need 1733a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan no kernel support. Please read 1833a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda 1933a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>. 2033a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan 2133a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the 2233a1a6feSAlexey Dobriyan module will be called coda. 23
