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.

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

Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which

They are also known as "Dynamic Disks".
|

|
|
|

|
|
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 and
|
||
|
|
XP.
