Dear Experts,
I've got a new SCSII to IDE raid which I have to connect to an SGI O2
(IRIX) at present. Can you recommend me any mkfs, directory format, etc.
options that are important if I want to be able to move the raid to a Linux
box in the future?
Make sure that the blocksize of the fs is the same as the pagesize under ia32.
Which means you will need to mkfs.xfs it with 4K blocksize.
Note that pagesize may vary depending on your system. A ia64 system
probably comes with another page size like 8 or 16K. So you will need to
anticipate what system you will be moving to.
