     1.4 +Coda file system support (advanced network fs)
     1.5 +
     1.6 +Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it enables you
     1.7 +to mount file systems of a remote server and access them with regular Unix
     1.8 +commands as if they were sitting on your hard disk. Coda has several advantages
     1.9 +over NFS: support for disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write
    1.10 +server replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
    1.11 +persistent client caches and write back caching.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +If you use this module, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda *client*.
    1.14 +You will need user level code as well, both for the client and server. Servers
    1.15 +are currently user level, i.e. they need no kernel support. Please read Linux
    1.16 +Kernel Documentation filesystems/coda.txt and check out the Coda home page
    1.17 +<http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.
