XFS: A high-performance journaling file system

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.

SGI XFS Pre-Release 0.10 is now available

SGI has made available Pre-release version 0.10 of its high-end XFS file system ported to Linux®. This pre-release works with the Linux 2.4.2 base kernel. More information is available on the SGI XFS Pre-Release 0.10 page. For information on the software changes that have been made for Pre-Release 0.10, see the SGI XFS Pre-Release 0.10 New Features page.

XFS Features:

Sub-second filesystem recovery after crashes or power failures (never wait for long fscks again)

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

High reliability and performance from journaling and other advanced algorithms
