| We're looking at getting an HBR (that's a technical term, honkin' big

| 16TB filesystems, of using xfs for really big filesystems. The

| How does it work if we have some *huge* files, and lots and lots of
| smaller files?

It works well and will be the default for RHEL 7, so that should say something. However, with respect to file system size. Be prepared to have a lot of memory for a file system that is large and a lot of files should you ever need to do a file system check. ;)
