1# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only 2config UFS_FS 3 tristate "UFS file system support (read only)" 4 depends on BLOCK 5 help 6 BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, 7 OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V 8 Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using 9 this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from 10 these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the 11 experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the 12 file <file:Documentation/admin-guide/ufs.rst> for more information. 13 14 The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is 15 READ-ONLY supported. 16 17 Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a 18 good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes 19 (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man 20 tar" or preferably "info tar"). 21 22 When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the 23 NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program 24 recode ("info recode") for this purpose. 25 26 To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the 27 module will be called ufs. 28 29 If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N. 30 31config UFS_FS_WRITE 32 bool "UFS file system write support (DANGEROUS)" 33 depends on UFS_FS 34 help 35 Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions. This is 36 experimental, so you should back up your UFS partitions beforehand. 37 38config UFS_DEBUG 39 bool "UFS debugging" 40 depends on UFS_FS 41 help 42 If you are experiencing any problems with the UFS filesystem, say 43 Y here. This will result in _many_ additional debugging messages to be 44 written to the system log.
