http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=archive/xfs-import.git;a=commitdiff;h=9ea7d56d2db84bd45183c4ab11903b97c5b9a8e9
tells us that the PV to start looking at is 522678. It's something
to do with shared read-only filesystems - I suspect the sb_shared_vn
field counts the number of read-only mounts - and my guess is it was
for Cellular Irix. i.e. SGI's aborted attempt to make a distributed
operating system that left useless crap all through the Irix 6.5
codebase...
Cheers,
Dve.
