   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.

  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.

 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

 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.

 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.

 210           Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk

 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
