I know it's been discussed to death, but I am making a formal request to you to include XFS in the main kernel. We (The Sloan Digital Sky Survey) and many, many other groups here at Fermilab would be very happy to have this in the main tree. Currently the SDSS has ~20TB of XFS filesystems, most of which is in our 14 fileservers and database machines. The D-Zero experiment has ~140 desktops running XFS and several XFS fileservers. We've been using it since it was released, and have found it to be very reliable. I'll even attempt to bribe you with homebrew beer - would that help?? ;-) Thanks, Dan -- Dan Yocum Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Fermilab 630.840.6509 yocum@fnal.gov, http://www.sdss.org SDSS.
