-config FAT_FS
- tristate
- select NLS
- help
- If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
- VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
- to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
- diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
- files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
- other Unix files.
-
- This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
- the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
- M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
- order to make use of it.
-
- Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
- partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
- mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
- order to do that.
-
- If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
- Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
- file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
- available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
-
- The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
- say Y.
-
- To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
- fat. Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you
- cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel
- -- they will have to be modules as well.
-
-config MSDOS_FS
- tristate "MSDOS fs support"
- select FAT_FS
- help
- This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless
- they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under
- Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the
- DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in
- <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/>. If you
- intend to use dosemu with a non-compressed MSDOS partition, say Y
- here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes
- transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all
- other Unix files.
-
- If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS
- partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs
- support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames
- generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT.
-
- This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure,
- answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support"
- as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will
- be called msdos.
-
-config VFAT_FS
- tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support"
- select FAT_FS
- help
- This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with
- long filenames. That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems
- used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix
- programs from the mtools package.
-
- The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only
- works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read
- the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for details. If
- unsure, say Y.
-
- To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
- vfat.
-
-config FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE
- int "Default codepage for FAT"
- depends on MSDOS_FS || VFAT_FS
- default 437
- help
- This option should be set to the codepage of your FAT filesystems.
- It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option.
- See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
-
-config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
- string "Default iocharset for FAT"
- depends on VFAT_FS
- default "iso8859-1"
- help
- Set this to the default input/output character set you'd
- like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set
- that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden
- with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems.
- Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems.
- If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here.
- See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
