							|  |  |  | 	  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 |

							|  |  |  |
