8 | Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which | |

12 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |
13 | kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all | |
14 | the questions about foreign partitioning schemes. | |

50 | The Acorn Disc Filing System is the standard file system of the | |
51 | RiscOS operating system which runs on Acorn's ARM-based Risc PC | |

77 | running AIX. AIX actually uses a Logical Volume Manager, where | |

127 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION | |
128 | help | |
129 | FreeBSD uses its own hard disk partition scheme on your PC. It | |
130 | requires only one entry in the primary partition table of your disk | |
131 | and manages it similarly to DOS extended partitions, putting in its | |
132 | first sector a new partition table in BSD disklabel format. Saying Y | |
133 | here allows you to read these disklabels and further mount FreeBSD | |
134 | partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS | |

150 | Like most systems, Solaris x86 uses its own hard disk partition | |
151 | table format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you | |
152 | to read these partition tables and further mount Solaris x86 | |

156 | config UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL | |
157 | bool "Unixware slices support" | |

159 | ---help--- | |
160 | Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a | |
161 | partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is | |
162 | incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to read | |
163 | VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from within | |
164 | Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support" or | |
165 | "System V and Coherent file system support", above. | |
166 | ||
167 | This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your | |
168 | Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or | |
169 | removable IDE drives. Note, however, that a good portable way to | |
170 | transport files and directories between unixes (and even other | |
171 | operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or | |
172 | preferably "info tar"). | |

dde33348 AA |
181 | were partitioned using Windows 2000's/XP's or Vista's Logical Disk |
182 | Manager. They are also known as "Dynamic Disks". | |
183 | ||
184 | Note this driver only supports Dynamic Disks with a protective MBR | |
185 | label, i.e. DOS partition table. It does not support GPT labelled | |
186 | Dynamic Disks yet as can be created with Vista. | |
1da177e4 LT |
187 | |
188 | Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around | |
189 | the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme. The Logical Disk | |
190 | Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned, | |
191 | mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for | |
192 | rebooting. | |
193 | ||

195 | and Vista. | |
