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.

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.

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.
