I think you are once again confused. System Vr3 had something called the

The history on wikipedia matches my memory and contradicts much of what
you've been claiming. For what it is worth, I didn't write a word of
that wikipedia page so others remember much as I do.

Surely Berny meant the file system switch here, which could have come from
early system V, but originated in research Unix (8th edition?). Note that
this list is very similar to that in the early part of his book on System V
internals. VFSSW <=== NO, this is
from SunOS-4
