3 tristate "FreeVxFS file system support (VERITAS VxFS(TM) compatible)"
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
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 endianness 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.)
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
20 There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes
21 creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file
22 or regular file with image of the disk. See:

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