+config UFS_FS
+ tristate "UFS file system support (read only)"
+ depends on BLOCK
+ help
+ BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
+ OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
+ Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
+ this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
+ these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
+ experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
+ file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information.
+
+ The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
+ READ-ONLY supported.
+
+ Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
+ good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
+ (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
+ tar" or preferably "info tar").
+
+ When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
+ NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
+ recode ("info recode") for this purpose.
+
+ To compile the UFS file system support as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called ufs.
+
+ If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N.
+
+config UFS_FS_WRITE
+ bool "UFS file system write support (DANGEROUS)"
+ depends on UFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
+ help
+ Say Y here if you want to try writing to UFS partitions. This is
+ experimental, so you should back up your UFS partitions beforehand.
+
+config UFS_DEBUG
+ bool "UFS debugging"
+ depends on UFS_FS
+ help
+ If you are experiencing any problems with the UFS filesystem, say
+ Y here. This will result in _many_ additional debugging messages to be
+ written to the system log.
