XFS_FS — XFS filesystem support
XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem that originated on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, and variable block sizes, is extent based, makes extensive use of B-trees, and uses directories, extents, and free space to aid both performance and scalability.
Refer to the documentation at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs for complete details. This implementation is on-disk compatible with the IRIX version of XFS.
