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. |

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

113 | config BSD_DISKLABEL |
114 | bool "BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support" |
115 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION |
116 | help |
117 | FreeBSD uses its own hard disk partition scheme on your PC. It |
118 | requires only one entry in the primary partition table of your disk |
119 | and manages it similarly to DOS extended partitions, putting in its |
120 | first sector a new partition table in BSD disklabel format. Saying Y |
121 | here allows you to read these disklabels and further mount FreeBSD |
122 | partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS |
123 | file system support", above. If you don't know what all this is |
124 | about, say N. |
125 | |
126 | config MINIX_SUBPARTITION |
127 | bool "Minix subpartition support" |

132 | subpartitions. |

134 | config SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION |
135 | bool "Solaris (x86) partition table support" |
136 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION |
137 | help |
138 | Like most systems, Solaris x86 uses its own hard disk partition |
139 | table format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you |
140 | to read these partition tables and further mount Solaris x86 |
141 | partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS |
142 | file system support", above. |
143 | |
144 | config UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL |
145 | bool "Unixware slices support" |
146 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION |
147 | ---help--- |
148 | Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a |
149 | partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is |
150 | incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to read |
151 | VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from within |
152 | Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support" or |
153 | "System V and Coherent file system support", above. |
154 | |
155 | This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your |
156 | Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or |
157 | removable IDE drives. Note, however, that a good portable way to |
158 | transport files and directories between unixes (and even other |
159 | operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or |
160 | preferably "info tar"). |
161 | |
162 | If you don't know what all this is about, say N. |
163 | |
164 | config LDM_PARTITION |
165 | bool "Windows Logical Disk Manager (Dynamic Disk) support" |
166 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED |
167 | ---help--- |
168 | Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which |
169 | were partitioned using Windows 2000's/XP's or Vista's Logical Disk |
170 | Manager. They are also known as "Dynamic Disks". |
171 | |
172 | Note this driver only supports Dynamic Disks with a protective MBR |
173 | label, i.e. DOS partition table. It does not support GPT labelled |
174 | Dynamic Disks yet as can be created with Vista. |
175 | |
176 | Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around |
177 | the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme. The Logical Disk |
178 | Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned, |
179 | mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for |
180 | rebooting. |
181 | |
182 | Normal partitions are now called Basic Disks under Windows 2000, XP, |
183 | and Vista. |
184 | |
185 | For a fuller description read <file:Documentation/ldm.txt>. |
186 | |
187 | If unsure, say N. |
188 | |
189 | config LDM_DEBUG |
190 | bool "Windows LDM extra logging" |
191 | depends on LDM_PARTITION |
192 | help |
193 | Say Y here if you would like LDM to log verbosely. This could be |
194 | helpful if the driver doesn't work as expected and you'd like to |
195 | report a bug. |
196 | |
197 | If unsure, say N. |
198 | |
199 | config SGI_PARTITION |
200 | bool "SGI partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED |

204 | partition table format used by SGI machines. |

211 | partition table format used by DEC (now Compaq) Ultrix machines. |

214 | config SUN_PARTITION |
215 | bool "Sun partition tables support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED |
216 | default y if (SPARC || SUN3 || SUN3X) |
217 | ---help--- |
218 | Like most systems, SunOS uses its own hard disk partition table |
219 | format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you to |
220 | read these partition tables and further mount SunOS partitions from |
221 | within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support", |
222 | above. This is mainly used to carry data from a SPARC under SunOS to |
223 | your Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical or ZIP |
224 | drives; note however that a good portable way to transport files and |
225 | directories between unixes (and even other operating systems) is |
226 | given by the tar program ("man tar" or preferably "info tar"). If |
227 | you don't know what all this is about, say N. |
228 | |
229 | config KARMA_PARTITION |
230 | bool "Karma Partition support" |
231 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED |
232 | help |
233 | Say Y here if you would like to mount the Rio Karma MP3 player, as it |
234 | uses a proprietary partition table. |
