config [31mCONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED[0m
bool "Advanced partition selection"
help
Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
were partitioned under an operating system running on a different
architecture than your Linux system.
Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions about foreign partitioning schemes.
If unsure, say N.

The Acorn Disc Filing System is the standard file system of the
RiscOS operating system which runs on Acorn's [31mCONFIG_ARM[0m-based Risc PC
systems and the Acorn Archimedes range of machines. If you say
`Y' here, Linux will support disk partitions created under ADFS.

Once upon a time, there was a native Unix port for the Acorn series
of machines called RISCiX. If you say 'Y' here, Linux will be able
to read disks partitioned under RISCiX.
config [31mCONFIG_AIX_PARTITION[0m
bool "AIX basic partition table support" if [31mCONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED[0m
help
Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
partition table format used by IBM or Motorola PowerPC machines
running AIX. AIX actually uses a Logical Volume Manager, where
"logical volumes" can be spread across one or multiple disks,
but this driver works only for the simple case of partitions which
are contiguous.
Otherwise, say N.

bool "BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support"
depends on [31mCONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED[0m && [31mCONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION[0m
help
FreeBSD uses its own hard disk partition scheme on your PC. It
requires only one entry in the primary partition table of your disk
and manages it similarly to DOS extended partitions, putting in its
first sector a new partition table in BSD disklabel format. Saying Y
here allows you to read these disklabels and further mount FreeBSD
partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS
file system support", above. If you don't know what all this is
about, say N.
config [31mCONFIG_MINIX_SUBPARTITION[0m

Say Y here if you want to mount and use Minix 2.0.0/2.0.2
subpartitions.

bool "Solaris (x86) partition table support"

help
Like most systems, Solaris x86 uses its own hard disk partition
table format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you
to read these partition tables and further mount Solaris x86
partitions from within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS
file system support", above.
config [31mCONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL[0m
bool "Unixware slices support"
depends on [31mCONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED[0m && [31mCONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION[0m
---help---
Like some systems, UnixWare uses its own slice table inside a
partition (VTOC - Virtual Table of Contents). Its format is
incompatible with all other OSes. Saying Y here allows you to read
VTOC and further mount UnixWare partitions read-only from within
Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support" or
"System V and Coherent file system support", above.
This is mainly used to carry data from a UnixWare box to your
Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical, ZIP or
removable [31mCONFIG_IDE[0m drives. Note, however, that 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").
If you don't know what all this is about, say N.
config [31mCONFIG_LDM_PARTITION[0m
bool "Windows Logical Disk Manager (Dynamic Disk) support"
depends on [31mCONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED[0m
---help---
Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
were partitioned using Windows 2000's/XP's or Vista's Logical Disk
Manager. They are also known as "Dynamic Disks".
Note this driver only supports Dynamic Disks with a protective MBR
label, i.e. DOS partition table. It does not support GPT labelled
Dynamic Disks yet as can be created with Vista.
Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around
the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme. The Logical Disk
Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned,
mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for
rebooting.
Normal partitions are now called Basic Disks under Windows 2000, XP,
and Vista.
For a fuller description read <file:Documentation/admin-guide/ldm.rst>.
If unsure, say N.

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

format, incompatible with all others. Saying Y here allows you to
read these partition tables and further mount SunOS partitions from
