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