I'm currently in the process of slowly converting 21 clusters
totaling 2300+ processors over to XFS.

These machines are running a fairly stock RH7.1+XFS. The
application is our own custom scheduler for doing genomic
research. We have one of the worlds largest sequencing 
labs which generates a tremendous amount of raw data. Vast
amounts of CPU cycles must be applied to it to turn it
into useful data we can then sell access to.

We're not with the HGP, but we do process a huge amount of human
genomic data.

currently, a minority of these machines are running XFS,
but as I can get downtime on the clusters I am upgrading
them to 7.1+XFS. When I'm done, it'll be about 10TB of XFS
goodness... across 9G disks mostly. 

If you want any additional info, lemme know.

(BTW, when I spoke at LinuxWorld this year about the
clusters, I put in a nice plug for you guys :-)
