I think undreds of petabytes is not something we commonly see today :)
hundreds of TB is more reasonable.

I suspect he means support for PNFS.  PNFS is just like CXFS over
sunrpc, so for anyone whoe cares adding an XFS layout driver shouldn't
be a problem, and not actually require changes to the disk format or
low-level XFS code.  Note that I think pnfs a really good idea.
