6 	  Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
7 	  enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
8 	  with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
9 	  disk.  Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
10 	  disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
11 	  replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
12 	  persistent client caches and write back caching.
13 
14 	  If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
15 	  *client*.  You will need user level code as well, both for the
16 	  client and server.  Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
17 	  no kernel support.  Please read
18 	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.rst> and check out the Coda
19 	  home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.

21 	  To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the
22 	  module will be called coda.
