Given that the EA/ACL interface has obviously been changed at both the userland-kernel interface and at the kernel-xfs driver interface, I am curious if this is likely to introduce any instabilities in the first release, or if you believe you have performed enough regression testing to be comfortable with the changes.

Before we go to far, it's not going to be called "XFS 2.0"  :)

re: quality, it's not even released yet, so it will be hard to say.  The
first thing available will be a snapshot, with all the (lack of)
guarantees that come along with that.  We will eventually do another
"official" release, which will be much more rigorously tested at SGI
before it's done.  And of course, as the GPL says, there won't be any
guarantees with that either.  :)  We can do QA all day long, but in the
end you should still test it in your environment before you put it into
production.
