help
Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's.
The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk
partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux,
but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.
You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk
because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found
on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel
by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N.
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called minix. Note that the file system of your root
partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as
a module.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Core OS / VFS And Filesystem Core.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
