The "large" that the SGI folks had in mind when they designed XFS was files used in the production of animated feature films of the Pixar variety. By those standards (as well as by others considerably more typical for a desktop system), 10 MB is certainly not large, these days. But I do remember my first 20 MB hard drive for my Mac. What a phenomenal improvement that was over diskettes (even with the precious external drive).
