YesYesVeritas File System
YesYesMulti-Volume File System - Allows more than 1 volume to comprise a file system.
The VxFS intent log and other metadata can be placed on a separate
volume(s), and files can be dynamically striped across multiple volumes,
avoiding volume relayouts when adding storage. This does not license Dynamic
Storage Tiering although both share many underlying technical components.
