They're currently plain old ext2, though soon-ish they'll be XFS. I
guess I should also give a more accurate scale of the hardware we're

Ultra 5's

220r's
Sparcstation 20's
Ultra Enterprise 2's
Hardly the big end of town :)

Ah, thanks Jill, looks like I have some more reading to do. This feature
looks quite useful.
