It's not something I'm really concerned about - I don't need the features XFS provides and ReiserFS 3.6 works just fine for me. I just understand why SGI built XFS the way they did and what problem they were solving by doing it that way. I find it useful to keep in mind that XFS is a file-system (i.e. a system for files), and not necessarily a severly disk-bound filesystem alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
