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

138 | Like most systems, Solaris x86 uses its own hard disk partition | ||
139 | table format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you | ||

144 | config UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL | ||
145 | bool "Unixware slices support" | ||
146 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION | ||
147 | ---help--- | ||
148 | Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a | ||
149 | partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is | ||
150 | incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to read | ||
151 | VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from within | ||
152 | Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support" or | ||
153 | "System V and Coherent file system support", above. | ||
154 | |||
155 | This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your | ||
156 | Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or | ||
157 | removable IDE drives. Note, however, that a good portable way to | ||
158 | transport files and directories between unixes (and even other | ||
159 | operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or | ||
160 | preferably "info tar"). | ||

166 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED | ||
167 | ---help--- | ||
168 | Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which | ||
169 | were partitioned using Windows 2000's/XP's or Vista's Logical Disk | ||
170 | Manager. They are also known as "Dynamic Disks". | ||
171 | |||
172 | Note this driver only supports Dynamic Disks with a protective MBR | ||
173 | label, i.e. DOS partition table. It does not support GPT labelled | ||
174 | Dynamic Disks yet as can be created with Vista. | ||
175 | |||
176 | Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around | ||
177 | the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme. The Logical Disk | ||
178 | Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned, | ||
179 | mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for | ||
180 | rebooting. | ||
181 | |||
182 | Normal partitions are now called Basic Disks under Windows 2000, XP, | ||
183 | and Vista. | ||

193 | Say Y here if you would like LDM to log verbosely. This could be | ||
194 | helpful if the driver doesn't work as expected and you'd like to | ||
195 | report a bug. | ||
