I really hope someone will pick up maintaining XFS as a full-time project. Currently I work far to many
hours for far too little pay to do It myself. I've managed to patch linux-2.4.4 > linux-2.4.5-pre5-xfs. I'm not
too familiar with the linux source tree but I'll continue my work. I've found XFS to be 100% rock solid with
filesystems up to 1TB under extremely high I/O loads. I don't know about fs sizes higher, however I've also
done extensive tests for files sizes greater than 200GB without any problems. I'm extremely impressed with
XFS's performance in handling directories containing more than 32768 files. Also I hate to do this but I
must give a plug to 3ware for their DE RAID cards, they are by far the most mature RAID solution for linux
and they kick ass! So basically all I've got to say is, (from my perspective) IDE RAID+XFS kicks ass!
