Unlike some JFS' out there, XFS' structure remains relatively unchanged. I
thank God almost everyday that SGI ported XFS from Irix -- damn sweet

the first place.
From my understanding, changes of the on-disc structure have beene few
and far
between in the Linux port itself. MIPS->Intel default blocksize and only
a few
That is more of architecture issue. Even the Irix boxen default to 4k just
like Intel. The PPC folks have 4k as well. It was only some of the ia64
people that got bitten by having a machine with 8k pagesize per default.
It was more a limitation that the fs blocksize == pagesize.
The current CVS can mount even 512byte blocksize filesystem like they can
be created on Irix. And it has nothing to do with the actual layout.
