xfs on non x86

[Thomas Graichen <news-innominate.list.sgi.xfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

just out of couriosity - is the xfs port to linux done with non x86
platforms in mind or does it even run on any other platform than
x86? - does it already work on the ia64?

i assume in general it should not be a big problem - because xfs
should be endianindependent (x86 is little - sgi mips big) and
64bit safe (irix 6 is 64bit) - but did anyone try to compile
or even run it on linux alpha, ppc sparc or something else?

if not - how much work do you expect it to be to get it going?

a lot of thanks in advance
