| help | |
| BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, | |
| OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V | |
| Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using | |
| this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from | |
| these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the | |
| experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the | |
| file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information. | |
| The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is | |
| READ-ONLY supported. | |
| Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a | |
| good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes | |
| (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man | |
| tar" or preferably "info tar"). | |
| When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the | |
| NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program | |
| recode ("info recode") for this purpose. | |
| To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the | |
| module will be called ufs. | |
| If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N. | |

| help | |
| Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions. This is | |
| experimental, so you should back up your UFS partitions beforehand. | |
| config UFS_DEBUG | |
| bool "UFS debugging" | |
| depends on UFS_FS | |
| help | |
| If you are experiencing any problems with the UFS filesystem, say | |
| Y here. This will result in _many_ additional debugging messages to be | |
| written to the system log. |
