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. - Currently only readonly access is supported. + 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 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: + 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. |
