>Hmm, this is strange. I've been using XFS for a couple of months and started after several sysadmins had used it with no problems - even power outages. In fact before they implemented it they did extensive tests by pulling the plug. XFS came back up and ran without a hitch and that has been born out through actual experience. One of it's strong points is the robustness and ability to take hits ext2 can't handle. Another nice feature is it recovers from outages quickly where on big file systems ext2 can take 30+ minutes to fsck. > You need to emerge xfs-sources for support XFS of > filesystems.

well i have been using xfs saince it's introduction to the linux kernel and i absolutley love it. it has proved far seperior to reiser/ext3/jfs to me on several plains, i will never switch to somethig else, here is my fs layout:
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc1 xfs 941M 112M 830M 12% /
none proc 0 0 0 - /proc
none devfs 0 0 0 - /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0M 28K 2.0M 2% /mnt/.init.d
/dev/hda1 xfs 63M 5.7M 57M 10% /boot
none devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts
/dev/hde1 xfs 38G 28G 9.6G 75% /opt
/dev/hde2 xfs 38G 28G 9.4G 75% /home
/dev/hda3 xfs 941M 40M 902M 5% /tmp
/dev/hda4 xfs 17G 4.5G 13G 27% /usr
/dev/sdc2 xfs 16G 4.9G 11G 32% /usr/local
/dev/hda2 xfs 941M 163M 779M 18% /var
/dev/backup/lvol1 xfs 15G 4.3G 11G 29% /var/tmp
i never have a problem, and i live in upstate ny where power outage are more frequent than sex, okay that is a bad example to anybody that reads this mailing list, but for me it's alot.
