3 tristate "FreeVxFS file system support (VERITAS VxFS(TM) compatible)"
7 FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM)
8 file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system
9 of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available
10 for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However
11 these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk
12 data endianness and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been
13 tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.)
14 Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions
15 2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3.
17 NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and
18 fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not
21 There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes
22 creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file
23 or regular file with image of the disk. See:

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