Journaling File Systems and RAID (was RE: [ale] ext3)

[James P. Kinney III]

The only "kick in seat" with the XFS is if you like to change kernels a
lot. Merging the XFS patches can be daunting. The patch installs perfect
for the kernel level it was intended (as it should). The farther away
you get from that , the harder the merge. Now you really like learning
about the internal of filesystems...

The XFS team has done a great job. I use it daily and I do recommend it.
