Both systems have xfs installed and use this file system regularly. If they format the xfs disk on 10.3 they can use it on 10.3 and 11.2. They are claiming that formatting on 11.2 and using on 10.3 is the problem.
Is XFS used exclusively? Could it be there is a problem with inode size on EXT2/EXT3 that is being attributed to XFS? IIRC, somewhere in that transition from 10.3 to 11.2 the EXT2/EXT3 default inode size was changed from 128 to 256, which older kernels don't understand.
No. The 10.3 systems are, however, diskless, booting over pxe. They were made with KIWI. The other file system is in memory. It is at base an ext3 system. The xfs disks are in removable bays and are mounted when the system boots. Has been working great. The xfs disks are formatted elsewhere in a regular openSUSE system. The problem is that the station where they are formatted was upgraded from 10.3 to 11.2. This is when the problem started. How can I find out the value of this parameter for a specific disk? I would of course have to do it on the system where it works. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
