^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7) file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) data endianess and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) 2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3.
