I still have some IRIX xfs disks that I'd like to move to a Linux box. Now, the FAQ sais

Make sure that the directory format is version 2 on the IRIX filesystems
(this is the default since IRIX 6.5.5).
Linux can only read v2 directories.

So unless this has changed recently, I need to make sure the fs has version 2 
directories. The question is, how do I check the version of a given volume? I know I've 
done this a number of times in the past, but I always seem to forget how I did it, and 
finding info on this in the manual pages is not very easy. Can someone please remind me? 
(Suggestion: Add a line to the above mentioned FAQ entry starting with "To return 
the directory version of an existing filesystem, execute the command")
