It's not something I'm really concerned about - I don't need the |
| 9 |
features XFS provides and ReiserFS 3.6 works just fine for me. I just |
| 10 |
understand why SGI built XFS the way they did and what problem they |
| 11 |
were solving by doing it that way. |

I find it useful to keep in mind that XFS is a file-system (i.e. a |
| 14 |
system for files), and not necessarily a severly disk-bound filesystem |
