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
|
2016-06-01 00:25:12 -07:00
|
|
|
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:

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