XFS has really delivered (and saved data on two occasions already - and that after only 3 weeks of use) as expected. We considered using reiserfs, but decided against it after doing searches at google.com to see what the 'hit-rate' was regarding problems, stability, etc. We have nothing against reiserfs per se (if we didn't have XFS as a choice, it would have been reiserfs by default), but XFS has been around for some time and is in use world-wide (and we had experience with it on SGI servers). We look forward to the day when it's an integral part of the kernel and not a seperate patch. Brilliant job and thanks for contributing it to open source. Henry Combrinck www.metroweb.co.za
