Reversing libdisk, a useful IRIX library

RE: Reversing libdisk, a useful IRIX library
Well I can explain some of this.

I think IRIX's non HDD support is based around the SCSI standard of a 512-sector HDD, everything else is strange.

Additionally, it uses userspace NFS daemons in older versions of IRIX, with only newer versions actually having any kind of real kernel FAT support. It's all janky, and the libdisk.so primarily assumes XFS/EFS volumes, you can verify this looking at the protos I'm producing from it.

An eventual RE of the library may come in handy, but for now that's not the goal. Without a header, you or I can't use it. My goal is to make it easier to forge ahead for most of this, and while a lot of this is hacked together, it should become sufficiently polished at some point. As it stands, I have a limited understanding of all the structs/functions and am guessing a fair bit. Some things will not work right off the bat.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
