xfs filesystem
Slu
I got a problem mounting my sgi irix scsi disc on linux. The scsi
controller determines the sgi hdd but after that it prints something
like could not read the partition table. The xfs support is installed
fine. on the disc is irix 6.5...
What is wrong? I just need it to crack the root-pw!
Thanks,
Slu

I'm not sure the two filesystems are interchangeable like that, but I've
only used XFS on IRIX.
You probably lack SGI disklabel support in your Linux kernel. Under File
systems in 'make menuconfig', you'll see a submenu for Partition Types.
Under here, check the first option for Advanced partition selection, then
enable SGI partition support. Recompile, reboot, try to mount the disk
again.

Linux XFS supports a subset of IRIX XFS mkfs options. The defaults
for IRIX usually work on Linux.

That is almost certainly the problem -- you need to build the kernel
with SGI disklabel support.
