SGI volume image
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
- Not to be confused with the "SGI image" graphics format.
SGI volume image (correct terminology unknown) is a low-level disk format used with SGI/IRIX computers. It is used on hard disks and CD-ROMs, and associated image files.
It can be thought of as a header, or as a container for one or more filesystems or other partitions. Often, it contains an EFS filesystem.
(TODO: Do some CDs hybridize this format with ISO 9660?)
Identification
