[OpenAFS-devel] naming version 1 or 2 in post irix 6.5.13

[chas williams]

i was reading the release notes for irix 6.5.13 (before i install it
actually -- i must be getting old) and noticed that in future
releases of irix, the default for xfs will be version 2 naming.  the
man page says:

     -n   Naming options.

          These options specify the version and size parameters for the naming
          (directory) area of the filesystem.  The valid suboptions are:
          log=value, size=value, and version=value.  The naming (directory)
          version is 1 or 2, defaulting to 1 if unspecified.  With version 2
          directories, the directory block size can be any power of 2 size
          from the filesystem block size up to 65536.  The block size is
          specified either as a base two logarithm value with log=, or in
          bytes with size=.  The default size value for version 2 directories
          is 4096 bytes (4 KB), unless the filesystem block size is larger
          than 4096, in which case the default value is the filesystem block
          size.  For version 1 directories the block size is the same as the
          filesystem block size.

i dont know a great deal about the fileserver under irix.  is this likely
to be a problem for 'native' fileservers?  i imagine not, but you never know.
