The other day I was looking at this. I learned that the XFS patch
includes:
* XFS for Linux proper (this is about 50% of the patch)
* Delayed write buffers
* POSIX ACLs
* DMAPI (Data Management API)
* Guaranteed datarate
* KDB (the Kernel Debugger)
* NMI patches
* LVM patches
* I'm missing something...
Some of these are interwoven...
The tools are included in a separate file (that is, I'm talking about
the linux-whatever-xfs.patch). I'm not sure what you mean by linux/xfs
and xfs/fs.
