If I'm going to answer his two articles, he's speaking in the context of massive
filesystems. True, hundreds of petabytes are not common but that's the
environment he's talking about.

From what I'm seeing from XFS, BTRFS, ext4, and HAMMER, Linux filesystems are
going to easily keep up with the current trend. For the massive filesystems
Henry speaks of, XFS has some new features I don't think he's aware of and needs
to come out in this answer.
