Hi all,
the issue might be, that xfs has big problems, being mounted ro on boot.
This is the same behaviour as on IRIX (i have a Origin 200 with IRIX 6.4
on dksc(0,1,0) and IRIX 6.5 on dksc(0,2,0)). When i halt and reboot from
the other OS's root, ex. 6.5, mounting ro of the 6.4 filesystems (esp.
the root) on boot failes, due to dirty filesystem (on XFS impossible
;-). So the filesystems must 1. be mounted rw, umounted, and then
mounted ro (what i wanted). Behaps, it helps, if you ensure, that lilo
isn't booting with to ro-flag. Btw. ext3fs has the same problem. I think
Steve Tweedie solved it in ext2-0.0.2d (didn't he, had no time to test).
Bye
Klaus
