<p>
On May 1 2001, SGI made available Release 1.0 of its high-end XFS file
system for Linux.
XFS, widely recognized as the industry-leading high-performance
filesystem, provides rapid recovery from system crashes
and the ability to support extremely large disk farms. XFS is
the first journaled filesystem for Linux
available today that has
a proven track record in production environments
since late 1994.
For a listing of the capabilities and specifications
of XFS, see 
<a href="features.html">XFS for Linux Features</a>.

<p>
XFS is licensed under GPL.
