+config PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ 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.
+
+config ACORN_PARTITION
+ bool "Acorn partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ARCH_ACORN
+ help
+ Support hard disks partitioned under Acorn operating systems.
+
+config ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA
+ bool "Cumana partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ARCH_ACORN
+ depends on ACORN_PARTITION
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+ were partitioned using the Cumana interface on Acorn machines.
+
+config ACORN_PARTITION_EESOX
+ bool "EESOX partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ARCH_ACORN

+
+config ACORN_PARTITION_ADFS
+ bool "Native filecore partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ARCH_ACORN
+ depends on ACORN_PARTITION
+ help
+ The Acorn Disc Filing System is the standard file system of the
+ RiscOS operating system which runs on Acorn's ARM-based Risc PC
+ systems and the Acorn Archimedes range of machines. If you say
+ `Y' here, Linux will support disk partitions created under ADFS.
+
+config ACORN_PARTITION_POWERTEC
+ bool "PowerTec partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ARCH_ACORN
+ depends on ACORN_PARTITION
+ help
+ Support reading partition tables created on Acorn machines using
+ the PowerTec SCSI drive.
+
+config ACORN_PARTITION_RISCIX
+ bool "RISCiX partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ARCH_ACORN
+ depends on ACORN_PARTITION
+ help
+ 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 OSF_PARTITION
+ bool "Alpha OSF partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ALPHA
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+ were partitioned on an Alpha machine.
+
+config AMIGA_PARTITION
+ bool "Amiga partition table support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if (AMIGA || AFFS_FS=y)
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+ were partitioned under AmigaOS.
+
+config ATARI_PARTITION
+ bool "Atari partition table support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if ATARI
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+ were partitioned under the Atari OS.
+
+config IBM_PARTITION
+ bool "IBM disk label and partition support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && S390
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
+ partition table format used by IBM DASD disks operating under CMS.
+ Otherwise, say N.
+
+config MAC_PARTITION
+ bool "Macintosh partition map support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if (MAC || PPC_PMAC)
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+ were partitioned on a Macintosh.
+
+config MSDOS_PARTITION
+ bool "PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y
+ help
+ Say Y here.
+
+config BSD_DISKLABEL
+ bool "BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+ 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 MINIX_SUBPARTITION
+ bool "Minix subpartition support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+ help
+ Minix 2.0.0/2.0.2 subpartition table support for Linux.
+ Say Y here if you want to mount and use Minix 2.0.0/2.0.2
+ subpartitions.
+
+config SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION
+ bool "Solaris (x86) partition table support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+ 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 UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL
+ bool "Unixware slices support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED && MSDOS_PARTITION
+ ---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 IDE 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 LDM_PARTITION
+ bool "Windows Logical Disk Manager (Dynamic Disk) support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ ---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/ldm.txt>.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config LDM_DEBUG
+ bool "Windows LDM extra logging"
+ depends on LDM_PARTITION
+ help
+ 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.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config SGI_PARTITION
+ bool "SGI partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if DEFAULT_SGI_PARTITION
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
+ partition table format used by SGI machines.
+
+config ULTRIX_PARTITION
+ bool "Ultrix partition table support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if MACH_DECSTATION
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
+ partition table format used by DEC (now Compaq) Ultrix machines.
+ Otherwise, say N.
+
+config SUN_PARTITION
+ bool "Sun partition tables support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if (SPARC || SUN3 || SUN3X)
+ ---help---
+ Like most systems, SunOS 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 SunOS partitions from
+ within Linux if you have also said Y to "UFS file system support",
+ above. This is mainly used to carry data from a SPARC under SunOS to
+ your Linux box via a removable medium like magneto-optical or ZIP
+ 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 KARMA_PARTITION
+ bool "Karma Partition support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to mount the Rio Karma MP3 player, as it
+ uses a proprietary partition table.
+
+config EFI_PARTITION
+ bool "EFI GUID Partition support"
+ depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ select CRC32
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
+ were partitioned using EFI GPT.
+
+config SYSV68_PARTITION
+ bool "SYSV68 partition table support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
+ default y if VME
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to be able to read the hard disk
+ partition table format used by Motorola Delta machines (using
+ sysv68).
+ Otherwise, say N.
