[PATCH] update filesystems config. menu 

This is Robert PJ Day's patch that updates the filesystems
config menu.  It had become a bit ad hoc (jumbled:) and this
patch attempts to arrange it more logically.

config QUOTA
bool "Quota support"
config EXT2_FS
tristate "Second extended fs support"
help
If you say Y here, you will be able to set per user limits for disk
usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works for the
ext2, ext3, and reiserfs file system. You need additional software
in order to use quota support (you can download sources from
<http://www.sf.net/projects/linuxquota/>). For further details, read
the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Probably the quota
support is only useful for multi user systems. If unsure, say N.
This is the de facto standard Linux file system (method to organize
files on a storage device) for hard disks.
config QFMT_V1
tristate "Old quota format support"
depends on QUOTA
You want to say Y here, unless you intend to use Linux exclusively
from inside a DOS partition using the UMSDOS file system. The
advantage of the latter is that you can get away without
repartitioning your hard drive (which often implies backing
everything up and restoring afterwards); the disadvantage is that
Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and that UMSDOS is somewhat
slower than ext2fs. Even if you want to run Linux in this fashion,
it might be a good idea to have ext2fs around: it enables you to
read more floppy disks and facilitates the transition to a *real*
Linux partition later. Another (rare) case which doesn't require
ext2fs is a diskless Linux box which mounts all files over the
network using NFS (in this case it's sufficient to say Y to "NFS
file system support" below). Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel
by about 44 KB.
The Ext2fs-Undeletion mini-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, gives information about
how to retrieve deleted files on ext2fs file systems.
To change the behavior of ext2 file systems, you can use the tune2fs
utility ("man tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and
directories on ext2 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr").
Ext2fs partitions can be read from within DOS using the ext2tool
command line tool package (available from
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/ext2/>) and from
within Windows NT using the ext2nt command line tool package from
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/dos/>. Explore2fs is a
graphical explorer for ext2fs partitions which runs on Windows 95
and Windows NT and includes experimental write support; it is
available from
<http://jnewbigin-pc.it.swin.edu.au/Linux/Explore2fs.htm>.
If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which
can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The
module will be called ext2. Be aware however that the file system
of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
be compiled as a module, and so this could be dangerous. Most
everyone wants to say Y here.

config EXT3_FS
tristate "Ext3 journalling file system support"
help
This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
(often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
(method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
system.
To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
(available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which
can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you

XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated
on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can
support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes,
variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of
Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance
and scalability.
Refer to the documentation at <http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/>
for complete details. This implementation is on-disk compatible
with the IRIX version of XFS.
If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which
can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The

config XFS_QUOTA

information as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to provide a
higher level guarantee of consistency. The on-disk data format for
quota is also compatible with the IRIX version of XFS, allowing a
filesystem to be migrated between Linux and IRIX without any need
for conversion.

you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.

config PROC_FS
bool "/proc file system support"
help
This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
(there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured
to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.
Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
/proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.
The /proc file system is explained in the file
<file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage

This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB. Several

terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx, is used for pseudo terminal
support as described in The Open Group's Unix98 standard: in order
to acquire a pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number
of the pseudo terminal is then made available to the process and the
pseudo terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
The GNU C library glibc 2.1 contains the requisite support for this

---help---
This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system
(often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system
(method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks.
The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have
to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system
is consistent without the need for a lengthy check.
Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format
of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch
between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the
file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file
system.
To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the
behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man
tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3
file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using
e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals
(available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>).
If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which

to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
other Unix files.
This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
order to make use of it.
Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
order to do that.
If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a

disadvantage is that Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and
that UMSDOS is somewhat slower than ext2fs. Another use of UMSDOS
is to write files with long unix filenames to MSDOS floppies; it

config PROC_FS
bool "/proc file system support"
---help---
This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
(there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured
to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.
Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
/proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.
The /proc file system is explained in the file
<file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage
("man 5 proc").
This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB. Several
programs depend on this, so everyone should say Y here.

allocations. Device drivers register entries in /dev which then
appear automatically, which means that the system administrator does
not have to create character and block special device files in the
/dev directory using the mknod command (or MAKEDEV script) anymore.

You should say Y here if you said Y to "Unix98 PTY support" above.
You'll then get a virtual file system which can be mounted on
/dev/pts with "mount -t devpts". This, together with the pseudo
terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx, is used for pseudo terminal
support as described in The Open Group's Unix98 standard: in order
to acquire a pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number
of the pseudo terminal is then made available to the process and the
pseudo terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.

config EXT2_FS
tristate "Second extended fs support"
---help---
This is the de facto standard Linux file system (method to organize
files on a storage device) for hard disks.
You want to say Y here, unless you intend to use Linux exclusively
from inside a DOS partition using the UMSDOS file system. The
advantage of the latter is that you can get away without
repartitioning your hard drive (which often implies backing
everything up and restoring afterwards); the disadvantage is that
Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and that UMSDOS is somewhat
slower than ext2fs. Even if you want to run Linux in this fashion,
it might be a good idea to have ext2fs around: it enables you to
read more floppy disks and facilitates the transition to a *real*
Linux partition later. Another (rare) case which doesn't require
ext2fs is a diskless Linux box which mounts all files over the
network using NFS (in this case it's sufficient to say Y to "NFS
file system support" below). Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel
by about 44 KB.
The Ext2fs-Undeletion mini-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, gives information about
how to retrieve deleted files on ext2fs file systems.
To change the behavior of ext2 file systems, you can use the tune2fs
utility ("man tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and
directories on ext2 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr").
Ext2fs partitions can be read from within DOS using the ext2tool
command line tool package (available from
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/ext2/>) and from
within Windows NT using the ext2nt command line tool package from
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/dos/>. Explore2fs is a
graphical explorer for ext2fs partitions which runs on Windows 95
and Windows NT and includes experimental write support; it is
available from
<http://jnewbigin-pc.it.swin.edu.au/Linux/Explore2fs.htm>.
If you want to compile this file system as a module ( = code which
can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
want), say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The
