Since 2005 if you are Solaris guy. Since 2008 if you are ZFS on FreeBSD or Hammer 1 DragonFly guy. XFS is indeed the most stable and reliable file system for Linux and in principle there is nothing wrong with using XFS on the top of hardware or software RAID if you don't care about data integrity, self-healing, COW, snapshots, replication and similar things. If you put LVM2 between the RAID and XFS you could theoretically get snapshots of logical volumes and perhaps even restore something. However LVM2 snapshots are expensive and not really practical contrary to Red Hat PR debarment claims. Hopefully some of old Irix SGI who are lurking on this mailing list could tell you more things I don't know or I forgot since my old Irix days. Pozdrav, Pedja > Cheers > Milun
