I wrote BFS and am an ex-sgi employee. I did not however work on XFS at all. I knew some people that did though. And once I talked to Adam Sweeney (one of the principal architects of XFS).
BTW, when you state "Linux has a performance advantage because it is written in C not C++" you ought to back that up with numbers. C++ is not inherently slower. And besides, the BeOS kernel is pure C.
