5 | FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM) | |
6 | file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system | |
7 | of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available | |

8 | for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However |
9 | these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk | |
10 | data endianess and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been | |
11 | tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.) | |

12 | Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions |
13 | 2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3. | |

15 | NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and | |
16 | fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not | |
17 | the actual driver. | |

19 | There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes |
20 | creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file | |
21 | or regular file with image of the disk. See: | |

24 | To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be |
25 | called freevxfs. If unsure, say N. |
