This is the second release of the FreeVxFS driver for Linux.
=== changes
* freevxfs 0.2
- renamed to freevxfs, VERITAS' lawyers didn't like the old name.
- moved inode allocation to the pagecache
- rewritten directory handling, the problem with non-null
filepositions on readdir is now gone.
* vxfs 0.1
- initial release
=== features
The FreeVxFS driver provides read-only access to disks formated with
the VERITAS Filesystem (VxFS). Supported inode organisations are ext4,
typed and immediate. The Veritas Filesystem has different porting
lines to different operationg systems and cpu architectures -
while this release has only been tested with VxFS v4 filesystems
created by UnixWare 7.x it is believed to work with other ports of
the same version, as long as the filesystem is stored in native
byte order.
=== availability
FreeVxFS is available from ftp.openlinux.org in the directoty
/pub/people/hch/vxfs. The following files are provided:
o freevxfs-0.2.tar.gz - standalone tarball for Linux 2.4.x
