Success getting files off SGI XFS-formatted disks using "modern" hardware

RE: Success getting files off SGI XFS-formatted disks using "modern" hardware
Modern Linux fdisk definitely recognizes (as well as Linux kernel) SGI disk labels! I tried this very recently when experimenting with HDD boot media creation. However it does NOT HONOR partition numbering correctly. I will display different functional numbers for your partitions than FX, which is irritating, but you can tell which you want but looking at that partition type (swap, volhdr, cos, etc).

There is also no real equivalent to the FX expert menu for manipulating the SGI disk label as there is in FX (fdisk runs very short on this). Also default fdisk SGI disk label creation isn’t the default we know on Irix. It’s something else.
