What's the status of the realtime partition feature in XFS? I think I read somewhere that it wasn't actually implemented and/or working in the Linux XFS implementation, but I'm not sure. If it is in Linux, how well tested is it? It occurred to me that the XFS realtime feature might be a quick and easy way to make a hybrid of a SSD and a rotating drive. Just create a XFS file system on the SSD that specifies the rotating drive as its realtime partition. This would put all the metadata on the SSD where it can be quickly accessed at random. Throughput on large files would be almost as fast as if everything were on the SSD. Small files wouldn't be as fast, but still much faster than with no SSD at all.
