  Description     : Tools to access VMFS filesystems

 VMFS is a clustered filesystem designed to store virtual machine disks for
 VMware ESX or ESXi Server hosts. This set of tools allows to access these
 filesystems from some other non ESX/ESXi host for e.g. maintenance tasks.

 Only read access is available at the moment, but write access is under
 works. Multiple extents are supported.

 The VMFS can be accessed with a command line tool or mounted through a
 userspace filesystem (FUSE-based).
