1 | This is the implementation of the SystemV/Coherent filesystem for Linux. |
2 | It implements all of | |
3 | - Xenix FS, | |
4 | - SystemV/386 FS, | |
5 | - Coherent FS. | |
6 | ||
7 | This is version beta 4. | |
8 | ||
9 | To install: | |
10 | * Answer the 'System V and Coherent filesystem support' question with 'y' | |
11 | when configuring the kernel. | |
12 | * To mount a disk or a partition, use | |
13 | mount [-r] -t sysv device mountpoint | |
14 | The file system type names | |
15 | -t sysv | |
16 | -t xenix | |
17 | -t coherent | |
18 | may be used interchangeably, but the last two will eventually disappear. | |
19 | ||
20 | Bugs in the present implementation: | |
21 | - Coherent FS: | |
22 | - The "free list interleave" n:m is currently ignored. | |
23 | - Only file systems with no filesystem name and no pack name are recognized. | |
24 | (See Coherent "man mkfs" for a description of these features.) | |
25 | - SystemV Release 2 FS: | |
26 | The superblock is only searched in the blocks 9, 15, 18, which | |
27 | corresponds to the beginning of track 1 on floppy disks. No support | |
28 | for this FS on hard disk yet. | |
