| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 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. |
