journaling file system

(see below)
Ever had to wait and wait while Linux `fsck's a big filesystem after
a crash, power failure or just routine verification ?
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 ?
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?
This site includes a preview of the
Open SourceXFSTM
filesystem: an OSI Certified Open Source
journaling file system available as free software for
Linux,
licensed with the
GNU General Public License (GPL).
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
