It should be noted that there is a Serverless Network File System
from Berkeley that is precisely called "xFS", as you can see at
http://now.cs.berkeley.edu/Xfs/xfs.html . Also, there are other
products named "XFS", for example a popular NFS client for DOS.

Of course, there is only one true XFS! :-)
