Hello list, I seem to find myself in the unlucky situation of having myself some hixfs filesystems I'm trying to migrate off of. Some background on hixfs (as I understand it). At some point in the pa
Sending back to the list this time instead of Stan directly (Sorry Stan) :) The obvious solution for me would be a backup or rsync. Unfortunately both of those have issues with this particular setup
'HXFS' - heh. (58 46 53 42 'XFSB' is the proper magic) ... I can't speak to that, I dunno. *shrug* could try rewriting the magic with xfs_db and then having your way with it, see if that works. Or, j
There's no guarantee that mainline tools will work on this filesystem. As a matter of principle, I'd be asking Hitachi for the source code to their kernel module and userland tools and they are requi
You can select each superblock and write it. xfs_db -x /dev/blah ... this could be scripted with -c <command1> -c <command2> I don't know if they changed anything other than the magic though, so you

It's called a eNAS, but it's really just 2 linux 2.4 blades (debian woody), with failsafe (think heartbeat), LVM, custom XFS, samba, nfs, and a pile of sudo available scripts that are 700 and a web b

After changing the magic number on the 1st 6 superblocks and a 6 hour xfs_repair wait I can mount the FS. There are only a couple of things in lost+found, more than likely because I made my copy as t
big beer put forth on 5/18/2010 10:19 AM: Ahh, ok. We're not talking about some cheap single box NAS appliance here with 4-10 local disks, but a blade "appliance" which connects via FC to SAN LUNs on
big beer put forth on 5/18/2010 5:43 PM: IIRC (and IANAL) any version of XFS, with the exception of CXFS, running on Linux is GPL'd code. There is no such beast as non GPL XFS on Linux. For that SGI
Anyone with clear copyright can license the code under any license(s) they wish. So assuming SGI had clear copyright on all linux xfs code, it is certainly possible to offer it under an alternate lic
