Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linux-xfs@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk 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 visible 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.... Your FAQ indicate that it is possible to bring over XFS disks from IRIX environment to the Linux environment, so, I am thankful for advice!
