622135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM)
722135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  file system format.  VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system
822135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available
91cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However
101cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk
111cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  data endianess and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been
121cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.)
13bf1bb4b4SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions
14bf1bb4b4SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3.

1722135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not
1822135169SAlexey Dobriyan	  the actual driver.

201cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes
211cce1701SKrzysztof Błaszkowski	  creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file
