Just as soon as there is an XFS filesystem to boot from, of > course. Is my mind playing tricks on me? I seem to recall that on an SGI there is a separte boot file system then the XFS. It's been a couple of years now - but I convertned several from the 5.x to the 6.x Irix with the new XFS. Why does the boot file system have to be the same as a running file-system. I know that in some of the Sys V.x Intel variants, there is a separate booting file system conforming to the old s51 file system because the newer file systems they use wont boot in an iNTEL environment.
