I heard a talk by Ted T'so in New York, where he talked a bit about XFS. He
said that XFS is extremely integrated with Irix's VM system, so that adding
it to Linux using the existing codebase may require major changes to the way
Linux works, changes which Linus Torvalds might not approve. He suggested
that if this happens they might just use the XFS code as a reference and
rewrite it from scratch, but the capability of guaranteeing read speed might
not make it.
