HI !
In first, I 'm a french user and sorry for my very bad english ...
For an Adsl Box, I want to partitionning and format my external hard disk drive under XFS .What a good idea , isn't it ? ;o)
I get my Mandriva One (I know it isn't a "professionnal" distribution but you know the French search the simple thing !) and use fdisk -l , gparted and mkfs.xfs /dev/xxx .
With this, the adsl box reboot ! And of course it doesn't recognize the partition.
I tried with a Debian Etch XFS ... and this is a SUCCESS !
When I compare XFS versions I find a 2.10.1 for Mandriva and 2.8.1 for Debian.
Why the same command under two differents versions produce two format incompatible ?
Why the XFS 2.10.1 version is not compatible with the 2.8.1 ?
It's a trap for newbie who get a old hardware under linux ...
Thanks for your patience .
Reguards
Vince.

The defaults mkfs.xfs uses in 2.10.1 are different to 2.8.1. The
newer version enables features that are only availble in more recent
kernels (since about 2.6.19, IIRC), so it would seem that your ADSL
box has an old kernel on it that does not support the newer, faster,
shinier features XFS has....
The kernel version of your ADSL box, as well as the mkfs.xfs output
from both distro's would help confirm this.
Cheers,
Dave.

dmesg output after the failed mount would hopefully also offer some
clues..
For what it's worth, you can just turn off the newer features when you
mkfs with the newer version, too.

Thanks for you response !
unfortunately , I don't know the kernel version of my Adsl Box .
I search in documentation and I don't find any item about a parameter which take a compatibility with old xfs support .
Thanks and I hope see you later !

It's mad ...
It isn't any messages in dmesg output !
Only the mkfs output messages in the command line ...
"For what it's worth, you can just turn off the newer features when you mkfs with the newer version, too"
How can I disable the new features ?
Thanks for your interst !
