Hi *,
I compiled a kernel 2.4.3 with linux-2.4.3-xfs-cvs-04022001.patch on a
Ultrasparc 10 with xfs as module.
Everything works fine on the first look. I can make a filesystem on my
external Raid box and mount the filesystem.
But after rebooting the machine the partition table is lost:
<6>sym53c875-1-<9,*>: FAST-20 WIDE SCSI 40.0 MB/s (50.0 ns, offset 16)
<4>SCSI device sdd: 320155648 512-byte hdwr sectors (163920 MB)
<6> sdd: unknown partition table
When I call fdisk /dev/sdd it wants to generate a new sun disk label.
Is it possible that this effect is caused by XFS?
A (uneducated) guess would be that it would have somthing to do with XFS
writing it's superblock on sector 0 of the partition?
Does the sun disklabel expect something here?
This is the reason you can't install lilo on a XFS partition.

Every program has two purposes
one for which it was written and
another for which it wasn't
I make the last kind.
