1 Coda file system support (advanced network fs)
3 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it enables you
4 to mount file systems of a remote server and access them with regular Unix
5 commands as if they were sitting on your hard disk. Coda has several advantages
6 over NFS: support for disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write
7 server replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
8 persistent client caches and write back caching.
10 If you use this module, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda *client*.
11 You will need user level code as well, both for the client and server. Servers
12 are currently user level, i.e. they need no kernel support. Please read Linux
13 Kernel Documentation filesystems/coda.txt and check out the Coda home page
