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/admin-guide/ufs.rst> 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.

Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions. This is
|
experimental, so you should back up your UFS partitions beforehand.

|
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.
