7 | Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which | |
8 | were partitioned under an operating system running on a different | |
9 | architecture than your Linux system. | |
10 | ||
11 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |
12 | kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all | |
13 | the questions about foreign partitioning schemes. | |
14 | ||
15 | If unsure, say N. | |

45 | The Acorn Disc Filing System is the standard file system of the | |
46 | RiscOS operating system which runs on Acorn's ARM-based Risc PC | |
47 | systems and the Acorn Archimedes range of machines. If you say | |
48 | `Y' here, Linux will support disk partitions created under ADFS. | |

61 | Once upon a time, there was a native Unix port for the Acorn series | |

107 | config BSD_DISKLABEL | |
108 | bool "BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support" | |
109 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION | |
110 | help | |
111 | FreeBSD uses its own hard disk partition scheme on your PC. It | |
112 | requires only one entry in the primary partition table of your disk | |
113 | and manages it similarly to DOS extended partitions, putting in its | |
114 | first sector a new partition table in BSD disklabel format. Saying Y | |
115 | here allows you to read these disklabels and further mount FreeBSD | |
116 | partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS | |
117 | file system support", above. If you don't know what all this is | |
118 | about, say N. | |

129 | bool "Solaris (x86) partition table support" | |
130 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION | |
131 | help | |
132 | Like most systems, Solaris x86 uses its own hard disk partition | |
133 | table format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you | |
134 | to read these partition tables and further mount Solaris x86 | |
135 | partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS | |
136 | file system support", above. | |

138 | config UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL | |
139 | bool "Unixware slices support" | |
140 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION | |
141 | ---help--- | |
142 | Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a | |
143 | partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is | |
144 | incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to read | |
145 | VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from within | |
146 | Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support" or | |
147 | "System V and Coherent file system support", above. | |
148 | ||
149 | This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your | |
150 | Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or | |
151 | removable IDE drives. Note, however, that a good portable way to | |
152 | transport files and directories between unixes (and even other | |
153 | operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or | |
154 | preferably "info tar"). | |
155 | ||
156 | If you don't know what all this is about, say N. | |

158 | config LDM_PARTITION | |
159 | bool "Windows Logical Disk Manager (Dynamic Disk) support" | |
160 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED | |
161 | ---help--- | |
162 | Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which | |
163 | were partitioned using Windows 2000's or XP's Logical Disk Manager. | |
164 | They are also known as "Dynamic Disks". | |
165 | ||
166 | Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around | |
167 | the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme. The Logical Disk | |
168 | Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned, | |
169 | mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for | |
170 | rebooting. | |
171 | ||
172 | Normal partitions are now called Basic Disks under Windows 2000 and | |
173 | XP. | |

184 | helpful if the driver doesn't work as expected and you'd like to | |

210 | read these partition tables and further mount SunOS partitions from | |
211 | within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support", | |
212 | above. This is mainly used to carry data from a SPARC under SunOS to | |
213 | your Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical or ZIP | |
214 | drives; note however that a good portable way to transport files and | |
215 | directories between unixes (and even other operating systems) is | |
