I've been a happy XFS user for a few years now, but the fact the
xfsprogs aren't being maintained properly and xfs_check is still a
failure, I'm considering other alternatives.
This should change soon, see the September entry:
http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_Status_Updates
"On the userspace side a large patch series to reduce the memory usage
in xfs_repair to acceptable levels was posted, but not yet merged."
I also notice SGI still (since their take-over) seem to feature it
fairly prominently on their web site, indicating to me that it probably
won't fall into dis-use any time soon...though web sites can be misleading.
Max.
