7	  FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM)
8	  file system format.  VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system
9	  of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available
10	  for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However
11	  these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk
12	  data endianness and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been
13	  tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.)
14	  Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions
15	  2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3.
16
17	  NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and
18	  fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not
19	  the actual driver.
20
21	  There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes
22	  creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file
23	  or regular file with image of the disk. See:
24	         https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-vxfs/

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