Hello!
I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
If it isn't; please point me to where i can find a hint (or the answer)
I am trying to mount a older SGI harddrive on a SuSE 9.3 system.
I think it is a 5.x or maybe a 6.3 version of IRIX. Not too sure about that as
i haven't been able to confirm it at all.
After loading the linux kernel SCSI driver for my controller card, it detects
the drive ok, But i cant mount anything.
I need to recover some files from it and have no access to a SGI box.
fdisk shows:

Does this mean the filesystem is incompatible with my XFS driver for Linux?
How can i mount this system and recover the files?
TIA
