[Q] mounting 6.2 xfs harddisk on irix 6.5

Hello,

Is it OK to mount 6.2 xfs harddisk on irix 6.5 ?

Someone warned me that I may lose all my files on the 6.2 harddisk.

Are there any other safe way ?

Best regards,

Yes.

Not true.

The XFS format has changed twice (or is it 3 times?) since XFS was
introduced, but the all of the formats for 6.2 onward are supported
by 6.5.

The only time you would have problems is if you created a new filesystem
on 6.5 and tried to take it to 6.2.
