This is interesting. Why? Because -I- never had problems with getting XFS,
and haven't had problems since the beginning (and in the beginning I
didn't have DSL and thus downloaded the patches instead of getting the
entire CVS).
How? Simple. I went to "Download" since that's what I want to do. Went to
the main download site. From there it's fairly intuitive. Do I want the
latest release? Or patches. I went to get them patches. Where?
<ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/patches/> is the link I ended up
with. Alternatively you may want the cmd_rpms.
<ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/cmd_rpms/> is the link for that.
Perhaps aesthetics is relative. I just checked the JFS site out again
(note that I checked it out before, I had to to see if JFS's
infrastructure was significantly more interesting than ReiserFS and XFS),
and to me it's not significantly easier to navigate than ReiserFS's or
XFS's.

Have you ever used ReiserFS or XFS? I'd love to know what you think about
JFS's performance vis a vis ReiserFS and/or XFS. :)

And ReiserFS and ext3, don't forget. ;>
