Sysvfs is an implementation of the System V and Coherent and Xenix
filesystems for Linux. It grew out of separate filesystem implementations

  Xenix FS      Doug Evans <[email-masked]>  June 1992
  SystemV FS    Paul B. Monday <[email-masked]> March-June 1993
  Coherent FS   Pascal Haible <[email-masked]> and
                B. Haible <[email-masked]> June 1993

and was merged together in July 1993.

Version 5 has been uploaded to
  ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de  /pub/linux/sysvfs/
  sunsite.unc.edu                    /pub/Linux/Incoming/
                              soon   /pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/sysv/

There is a separate set of kernel patches for each Linux kernel from
0.99.10 to 0.99.14.

It implements all kinds of System V like filesystems I know of (but not UFS).
If you are running a System V or Coherent or Xenix, this should make it
easier for you to move to Linux.

mkfs.sysv and fsck.sysv are not provided. The hard disk partitioning scheme
of Xenix requires separate patches.
