Hello all, I have an xfs drive from an old Origin 2000 that I'm trying to pull some data from. I've managed to hook it up to my workstation which dual boots FreeBSD -CURRENT and Linux. Both operating systems see the drive, and Linux even sees three partitions (according to fdisk): sda8, sda9, sda11. Unfortunately Linux refuses to mount the actual XFS partition. >From what I can tell, it has to do with the fact that the filesystem is using version 1 directory format, which is unsupported on the linux version of XFS. So I was hoping to see if the same is try for the FreeBSD version of XFS. Again, FreeBSD sees the drive as /dev/da0, but no partitions or slices show up. Much as I expected, trying to mount /dev/da0 directly fails with "Operating not permitted". Before I continue fighting with this, I've taken a look in the xfs source code on my system, and it appears that version 1 directory format is unsupported on FreeBSD as well. Can anyone confirm this? If it is supported, any suggestions on how to get the drive mounted? Thanks :-) Adam
