I haven't used XFS on high-load machines, but this should be informative: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/xfs_users.html Another useful page would be: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/features.html In addition to proper quota implementation, it also has POSIX ACL support, which works quite nicely with Samba. Other advantages are an obviation of fscking completely, and file size support of up to 9 exabytes (that's 1000TB). The mailing list for XFS is linux-xfs@oss.sgi.com. > XFS is the open-source project, or I'm wrong?.. Kind of. XFS is SGI's version of the Unix filesystem (UFS/FFS), and originally was written only for IRIX. The open-source version of XFS is for Linux, but it is fully compatible with IRIX, so it is possible to move disks from an IRIX server and mount them on a Linux server. -- -- Skylar Thompson (skylar@attglobal.net) -- http://www.earlham.edu/~thompsk/
