  7. BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
  8. OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
  9. Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
  10. this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
  11. these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
  12. experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
  13. file <file:Documentation/admin-guide/ufs.rst> for more information.
  14. The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
  15. READ-ONLY supported.
  16. Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
  17. good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
  18. (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
  19. tar" or preferably "info tar").
  20. When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
  21. NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
  22. recode ("info recode") for this purpose.
  23. To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the
  24. module will be called ufs.

  30. Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions. This is
  31. experimental, so you should back up your UFS partitions beforehand.

  36. If you are experiencing any problems with the UFS filesystem, say
  37. Y here. This will result in _many_ additional debugging messages to be
  38. written to the system log.
