XFS: A high-performance journaling file system
</font></b></h1>
<!-- Start Project Content -->
<p>
Thanks to the extensive interest and contributions from the community,
the XFS
filesystem for Linux has made significant progress since its Beta release
in September 2000. Although there are still some features to be finalized,
the Beta code is currently stable in a majority of normal environments. We
welcome and encourage interested users to try out the code
aggressively in your test environments so that we can work through the final
stage of the development and bug fixes to meet your production needs.
