And always will be?

It might work, however fixing and testing it is very low on to the todo list. There are not many cases of people needing to mount volumes with v1 directories.


The only place to find them are IRIX volumes, which need to have a 4K blocksize, cleanly unmounted and the journal cleared before it can be mounted on Intel.

There is no sensible need whatsoever for v1 directories if you only use linux. Those that need to be able to mount IRIX disks can always bug the SGI support channels :-)
