   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.

   7 This is version beta 4.

   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.

  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.
