XFS (v.1.0.1 for RedHat 7.1) and XFS (Irix 6.5.13m) differ?

[Sven G Hyberts <shyberts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Thank you for creating XFS v.1.0.1 for RedHat 7.1
Linux!  It makes me much happier not to fsck all the time!!!

    Anyhow, I am trying to take this a further step - provide the same diskpartition local on both SGI and Linux.
The trial setup is following - a 70 Gbyte FC Seagate Cheeta, via loop one linked to an Origin200 with Qlogic's
2200 card, and via loop two linked to a PC with RedHat 7.1/2.4.3-SGI_XFS_1.0.1 kernel.  The Antares P-0033
card is recognized as a Qlogic's 2100 card.

    The disk drive is visiable from both end, formatted from the IRIX side.   Currently, I have problems with
putting a xfs file system on that is seen simultaniously from both sides.  Using the whole disk (i.e., starting
from block 0, and using the entire disk) I am able to make usable, but independent, file systems from both sides
(haven't checked crash point yet), but this is not quite what I envisioned!  (I envision to make a filesystem, such
that when a file  is created on either one system, it is visible directly on the other opposite system....)

    I am thankful for advice!

    Sincerely,
