Hi all,
I'd like to know if anyone would complain about removing IRIX support
in xfsprogs? It very much looks unmaintained for years, and due to
the IRIX differences in type defintions and kernel interfaces it's
actually a bit of a drag on xfsprogs, so unlike the other ports
to FreeBSD and Darwin it would actually be really helpful to remove
it.
I'd volunteer to prepare patches to remove the IRIX support and do
the resulting cleanups.

Christoph,
No objections from SGI about removing IRIX support from xfsprogs.
Thanks,
Troy McCorkell

We dropped support for older irix only filesystems some time ago,
so this seems like a natural progression from that. I have no
objections to removing it...
Cheers,
Dave.

Ok, I'll start sending patches once you're ok (or not ok)
with the patches from Felix to turn on LFS support to avoid
conflicting with those.

I don't have any objections to them - I've jus tbeen busy with other
stuff and haven't merged them yet. You may as well just build on top
of them for the moment. I also don't want to force Darrick to have
to constantly rebase his userspace patchset, so I'm trying to get
all the rmap support merged before taking anything else into
xfsprogs...
Cheers,
Dave.

At least the patches from Felix shouldn't conflict at all with the
rmap work. I'll just wait until both the rmap work and the largefile
bits are merged and will prepare the IRIX removal after that.
