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.
