Back when I got started, this was part of the Kernal build, if you compiled it yourself. Most (probably all) of the distros don't have it built-in, and I wonder if the latest kernal even supports it any more?
config AFFS_FS tristate "Amiga FFS file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on BLOCK && EXPERIMENTAL help The Fast File System (FFS) is the common file system used on hard disks by Amiga(tm) systems since AmigaOS Version 1.3 (34.20). Say Y if you want to be able to read and write files from and to an Amiga FFS partition on your hard drive. Amiga floppies however cannot be read with this driver due to an incompatibility of the floppy controller used in an Amiga and the standard floppy controller in PCs and workstations. Read file:Documentation/filesystems/affs.txt and file:fs/affs/Changes.
With this driver you can also mount disk files used by Bernd Schmidt's Un*X Amiga Emulator (http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/). If you want to do this, you will also need to say Y or M to "Loop device support", above.
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called affs. If unsure, say N.
