The MVFS, MultiVersion File System, creates a virtual file system specifically designed for accessing data within a Rational ClearCase VOB. As the link provided below also says - the MVFS works similarly to UNIX® Network File System, it loads a kernel driver that presents a file system to the user through a standard interface within the Windows, UNIX or Linux kernel.

CCFS, ClearCase File Server, on the other hand is a proprietary file server from IBM Rational Software. The ClearCase File Server is a TCP/IP-based mechanism for file transfers between UNIX® and Linux® VOB servers and clients running UNIX, Linux and or Microsoft Windows. While CCFS works with snapshot views only.

This link talks about more on MVFS: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview ... wg21230196

Hope this helps.
