0005 help
0006 BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
0007 OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
0008 Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
0009 this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
0010 these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
0011 experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
0012 file <file:Documentation/admin-guide/ufs.rst> for more information.
0013
0014 The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
0015 READ-ONLY supported.
0016
0017 Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
0018 good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
0019 (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
0020 tar" or preferably "info tar").
0021
0022 When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
0023 NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
0024 recode ("info recode") for this purpose.
0025
0026 To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the
0027 module will be called ufs.
0028
0029 If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N.

0035 Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions. This is
0036 experimental, so you should back up your UFS partitions beforehand.

0041 help
0042 If you are experiencing any problems with the UFS filesystem, say
0043 Y here. This will result in _many_ additional debugging messages to be
0044 written to the system log.
