No: SunOS uses vfs/vnodes, and Mt. Xinu distributes a 4.3BSD variant
using vfs/vnodes, as does the University of Wisconsin; and many other
4BSD-based vendors do so as well.  But the systems in Berkeley CSRG do
not have virtual file systems at all---yet.  4.4BSD will use `GVFS',
the Generic Virtual File System (aka the Buzzword File System).

GVFS seems to be shaping up as `a lot like VFS, only different'.
