- config UFS_FS
- tristate "UFS file system support (read only)"
- depends on BLOCK
- 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.
- config UFS_FS_WRITE
- bool "UFS file system write support (DANGEROUS)"
- depends on UFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
- 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.
