Peronally, I'm pretty anti XFS as it's the only file system that's blown
itself to bits on me. Sure it was well over 5 years ago, but I'm scarred
for life. IIRC was designed primarily for the film industry, with
'small' numbers of large files - although many of todays files will fall
into that definition.

No mention of Reiser... 3 or even 4?
