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.
+ for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However
+ these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk
+ data endianess and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been
+ tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.)
Currently only readonly access is supported.
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:
+ https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-vxfs/

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