If it's the former it should work in theory, althrough I'm not sure how well 64-bit inode numbers work with a client that old, if it's the latter it needs a few tweaks to work, see http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_Why_doesn.27t_NFS-exporting_subdirectories_of_inode64-mounted_filesystem_work.3F for details. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
