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 |
|---|
| 14 |
from inside a DOS partition using the UMSDOS file system. The |
|---|
| 15 |
advantage of the latter is that you can get away without |
|---|
| 16 |
repartitioning your hard drive (which often implies backing |
|---|
| 17 |
everything up and restoring afterwards); the disadvantage is that |
|---|
| 18 |
Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and that UMSDOS is somewhat |
|---|
| 19 |
slower than ext2fs. Even if you want to run Linux in this fashion, |
|---|
| 20 |
it might be a good idea to have ext2fs around: it enables you to |
|---|
| 21 |
read more floppy disks and facilitates the transition to a *real* |
|---|
| 22 |
Linux partition later. Another (rare) case which doesn't require |
|---|
| 23 |
ext2fs is a diskless Linux box which mounts all files over the |
|---|
| 24 |
network using NFS (in this case it's sufficient to say Y to "NFS |
|---|
| 25 |
file system support" below). Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel |
|---|
| 26 |
by about 44 KB. |

The Ext2fs-Undeletion mini-HOWTO, available from |

how to retrieve deleted files on ext2fs file systems. |
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 |
To change the behavior of ext2 file systems, you can use the tune2fs |
|---|

utility ("man tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and |
|---|
| 34 |
directories on ext2 file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). |

This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system |

|---|
| 91 |
(method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks. |
|---|
| 92 |
|
|---|
| 93 |
The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have |
|---|
| 94 |
to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a |
|---|
| 95 |
crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made |
|---|
| 96 |
at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system |
|---|
| 97 |
is consistent without the need for a lengthy check. |
|---|
| 98 |
|
|---|
| 99 |
Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format |
|---|
| 100 |
of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch |
|---|
| 101 |
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. |

The BeOS File System (BeFS) is the native file system of Be, Inc's |

BeOS. Notable features include support for arbitrary attributes |

on files and directories, and database-like indices on selected |

| 1035 |
attributes. (Also note that this driver doesn't make those features |
