| 6 | FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM) |
| 7 | file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system |
| 8 | of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available |
| Krzysztof Błaszkowski | 1cce170 | 2016-06-01 09:25:12 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However |
| 10 | these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk |
| 11 | data endianess and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been |
| 12 | tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.) |
| Krzysztof Błaszkowski | bf1bb4b | 2016-06-10 13:35:40 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions |
| 14 | 2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3. |

| 16 | NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and |
| 17 | fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not |
| 18 | the actual driver. |
