  6. help
  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. Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
  11. kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
  12. the questions about foreign partitioning schemes.
  13. If unsure, say N.

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

  58. Once upon a time, there was a native Unix port for the Acorn series

  60. to read disks partitioned under RISCiX.

  63. help
  64. Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
  65. partition table format used by IBM or Motorola PowerPC machines
  66. running AIX. AIX actually uses a Logical Volume Manager, where
  67. "logical volumes" can be spread across one or multiple disks,
  68. but this driver works only for the simple case of partitions which
  69. are contiguous.
  70. Otherwise, say N.

  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.

  125. subpartitions.

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

  195. ---help---
  196. Like most systems, SunOS uses its own hard disk partition table
  197. format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you to
  198. read these partition tables and further mount SunOS partitions from
  199. within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support",
  200. above. This is mainly used to carry data from a SPARC under SunOS to
  201. your Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical or ZIP
  202. drives; note however that a good portable way to transport files and
  203. directories between unixes (and even other operating systems) is
  204. given by the tar program ("man tar" or preferably "info tar"). If
  205. you don't know what all this is about, say N.

  209. help
  210. Say Y here if you would like to mount the Rio Karma MP3 player, as it
  211. uses a proprietary partition table.
  212. config EFI_PARTITION
