Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for 10*4882a593Smuzhiyun disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server 11*4882a593Smuzhiyun replication, security model for authentication and encryption, 12*4882a593Smuzhiyun persistent client caches and write back caching. 13*4882a593Smuzhiyun 14*4882a593Smuzhiyun If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda 15*4882a593Smuzhiyun *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the 16*4882a593Smuzhiyun client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need 17*4882a593Smuzhiyun no kernel support. Please read 18*4882a593Smuzhiyun <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.rst> and check out the Coda 19*4882a593Smuzhiyun home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>. 20*4882a593Smuzhiyun 21*4882a593Smuzhiyun To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the 22*4882a593Smuzhiyun module will be called coda. 23
