<b><font face="ARIAL NARROW,HELVETICA">XFS Features:</font></b></h2>

<ul>
<h4>
Sub-second filesystem recovery after crashes or power failures (never wait
for long <tt>fscks</tt> again)</h4>

<h4>
64-bit scalability: millions of terabytes, millions of files, and a million
files per directory (no more 2 GB limits)</h4>

<h4>
High reliability and performance from journaling and other advanced algorithms</h4>
</ul>

<ul>
<h2>
Source Code:</h2>
A complete linux 2.4.0-test5 tree including the XFS filesystem is available
for cvs checkout.
<p>The code is pre-Beta quality and although the basic functionality is
operational, it may hang or crash your machine.
