Callahan, please re-read my post.

I physically tried this last year, 2019. I tried xfs versions 1 & 2, both will be recognized as xfs in linux but have major errors (null this and can’t find super block that) that will prevent mounting. The error I physically got was that current xfs-progs only supports version 3 or higher.

So yes, I did test it, that’s why I gave specifics, and as I mentioned I don’t know when they took the old support out. It was in there when xfs was introduced in Linux and Linux can still read SGI disk label partition formats.

I was shocked at my finding! Why leave in the rest of the SGI support without any read (let alone write) support in the current xfs tools.

As I mentioned, I only tried parted magic distributions, it if it’s not in parted magic, then I’d assume the support is not standard anymore. That’s why I said you could try to load a 10+ year old Linux to try to get back xfs support for early versions.

I believe EFS Linux support is still good.
