• IRIX 6.5.16 provides support for upgrading license_eoe to the
FLEXlm 8.1a release from Globetrotter Software, Inc. The license
manager daemon is built in V5 compatibility mode. For more
information see the FLEXlm End User Manual and the associated man
pages.
IRIX 6.5.16 also provides support for upgrading license_dev to
include new optional thread-safe FLEXlm 8.1a client side libraries
and headers. For more information see the license_dev release
notes.
Introduced in IRIX 6.5.15:
• XFS inode numbers are 64-bit values containing an encoded disk
location. For large filesystems (1 terabyte plus), the inode numbers
can overflow into the top 32 bits of the number. Certain backup
applications which use the inode number only allow 32 bits of space,
and thus have severe problems dealing with very large XFS
filesystems.
As of IRIX 6.5.15, XFS has been changed to allocate inodes only
within the lower portion of the filesystem to avoid this overflow
issue. Other allocation policies in the filesystem will make this lower
order space preferred for inodes and reduce the risk of a filesystem
refusing to create new inodes when it still has space available.
