| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 1 Coda file system support (advanced network fs) |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 2 |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 3 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it enables you |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 4 to mount file systems of a remote server and access them with regular Unix |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 5 commands as if they were sitting on your hard disk. Coda has several advantages |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 6 over NFS: support for disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 7 server replication, security model for authentication and encryption, |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 8 persistent client caches and write back caching. |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 9 |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 10 If you use this module, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda *client*. |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 11 You will need user level code as well, both for the client and server. Servers |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 12 are currently user level, i.e. they need no kernel support. Please read Linux |
| Hans-G?nter@1217 | 13 Kernel Documentation filesystems/coda.txt and check out the Coda home page |
