XFS is just a fantastic filesystem. I've been a fan of it ever since I
started working with IRIX.
My sole beef with SGI is the license they chose for the open-source XFS.
The GPL will sadly prevent its integration with any of the BSD projects
(except perhaps as a loadable module, but as a rule those don't work all
that great in OpenBSD at least, maybe others too).
