<p>Ever had to wait and wait while Linux `fsck's a big filesystem after
a crash, power failure or just routine verification ?
<p>Ever wanted to support terabytes of databases, tens of thousands of
files per directory, 64-bit of everything in the filesystem, with high
reliability and high performance ?
<p>Ever wondered how far a filesystem can scale assuming the rest of the
kernel can? How many CPUs can actually write to the filesystem at the same
time without interfering with each other?
