| FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM) |
| file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system |
| of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available |
| for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However |
| these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk |
| data endianness and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been |
| tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.) |
| Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions |
| 2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3. |
| |
| NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and |
| fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not |
| the actual driver. |
| |
| There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes |
| creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file |
| or regular file with image of the disk. See: |
| https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-vxfs/ |
| |
| To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be |
| called freevxfs. If unsure, say N. |
