Hi,
I've tried to mount an old IRIX 5.x disk using both your current kernel
patch and the xfs enabled kernel souces (kernel 2.4.6). In all cases i
get "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, or too many
mounted file systems" when trying to mount with "mount -t xfs /dev/sdb1
/dir"
xfs_repair can not find secondary superblock,
fdisk gives the following informations on the disk
----- partitions -----
Device Info Start End Sectors Id System
/dev/sdb1 boot 5 3424 1846576 a SGI xfs
/dev/sdb2 swap 3425 3804 205408 3 SGI raw
/dev/sdb9 0 4 2620 0 SGI volhdr
/dev/sdb11 0 3804 2054604 6 SGI volume
----- bootinfo -----
Bootfile: /unix
----- directory entries -----
0: sgilabel sector 2 size 512
1: sash sector 4 size 140800
2: ide sector 558 size 977920
Is there anything obvious I am missing?
There is an answer to this in the FAQ.
If this partition is formatted with another cluster size then 4K you can't
read it (yet).
Irix uses a default of 512Bytes.
So if you want make it interchangeable you will need to format it with a 4K
cluster size.
This is because on ia32 Pagesize==Clustersize. And XFS currently can not
mount disks where Clustersize is larger or smaller then pagesize.

I use the last kind.
