| 108 | bool "BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support" |
| 109 | depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION |
| 110 | help |
| 111 | FreeBSD uses its own hard disk partition scheme on your PC. It |
| 112 | requires only one entry in the primary partition table of your disk |
| 113 | and manages it similarly to DOS extended partitions, putting in its |
| 114 | first sector a new partition table in BSD disklabel format. Saying Y |
| 115 | here allows you to read these disklabels and further mount FreeBSD |
| 116 | partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS |
| 117 | file system support", above. If you don't know what all this is |
| 118 | about, say N. |

| 131 | help |
| 132 | Like most systems, Solaris x86 uses its own hard disk partition |
| 133 | table format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you |
| 134 | to read these partition tables and further mount Solaris x86 |
| 135 | partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS |

| 138 | config UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL |
| 139 | bool "Unixware slices support" |

| 141 | ---help--- |
| 142 | Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a |
| 143 | partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is |
| 144 | incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to read |
| 145 | VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from within |
| 146 | Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support" or |
| 147 | "System V and Coherent file system support", above. |
| 148 | |
| 149 | This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your |
| 150 | Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or |
| 151 | removable IDE drives. Note, however, that a good portable way to |
| 152 | transport files and directories between unixes (and even other |
| 153 | operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man tar" or |
| 154 | preferably "info tar"). |

| 161 | ---help--- |
| 162 | Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which |
| 163 | were partitioned using Windows 2000's or XP's Logical Disk Manager. |
| 164 | They are also known as "Dynamic Disks". |
| 165 | |
| 166 | Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around |
| 167 | the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme. The Logical Disk |
| 168 | Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned, |
| 169 | mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for |
| 170 | rebooting. |
| 171 | |
| 172 | Normal partitions are now called Basic Disks under Windows 2000 and |
| 173 | XP. |

| 184 | helpful if the driver doesn't work as expected and you'd like to |
| 185 | report a bug. |
