Creates entries in the /etc/vfs file.
crvfs VFSEntry
The crvfs command adds /etc/vfs file entries by specifying fields within the VFSEntry parameter. The VFSEntry parameter is composed of the following fields: VFSName:VFSNumber:MountHelper:FileSystemHelper.
All fields in the VFSEntry parameter are required, but the reserved word "none" can be specified for the MountHelper and FileSystemHelper fields if there is no corresponding helper. If all the arguments are satisfactory, and neither the VFSName nor the VFSNumber given on the command line already exist, a new entry is created in the /etc/vfs file.
