722135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM)
822135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  file system format.  VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system
922135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available
101cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However
111cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk
120d7866eaSRandy Dunlap	  data endianness and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been
131cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.)
14bf1bb4b4SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions
15bf1bb4b4SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3.

1722135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and
1822135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not
1922135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  the actual driver.

211cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes
221cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file
231cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  or regular file with image of the disk. See:
