Some System V 7*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using 8*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from 9*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the 10*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the 11*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information. 12*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan 13*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is 14*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan READ-ONLY supported. 15*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan 16*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a 17*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes 18*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man 19*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan tar" or preferably "info tar"). 20*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan 21*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the 22*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program 23*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan recode ("info recode") for this purpose. 24*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan 25*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the 26*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan module will be called ufs. 27*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan 28*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N. 29*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan 30*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyanconfig UFS_FS_WRITE 31*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan bool "UFS file system write support (DANGEROUS)" 32*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan depends on UFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL 33*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan help 34*a276a52fSAlexey Dobriyan Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions.
