DESCRIPTION

The kernel module allows the experimental, third-party Coda distributed file system client to be used with Fx . The module allows the userspace Coda client daemon, Venus, to present the Coda distributed file system namespace via the local /coda file system mountpoint via the /dev/cfs0 special device.

To use Coda, the Coda client software package must also be installed; more information on Coda may be found in the Coda documentation distributed with that package.
