Check out the following articles by Daniel Robbins: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs9.html http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs10.html?dwzone=linux The articles are slightly outdated, but will give you a clue as to what XFS is... You need to emerge xfs-sources for support XFS of filesystems. I've been using XFS for a few months now, but I wouldnt use it on a computer which is not connected to a UPS since I've had a few nasty accidents with XFS where shutting down in the middle of an emerge has left my system crippled (on a computer NOT on a UPS). If you have a UPS then I suggest you give the XFS filesystem a try... but please make sure to read more about it, since you can loose data if you are not careful and do a hard shutdown in the middle of something important.
