I had lots of happy experiences with XFS when administering IRIX
boxes[1], but I don't know what differences the Linux port entailed.
Do you have details on that? We're certainly looking for an option
over JFS at the moment.

[1] I will note, however, that it was practically the only happy
experience I had with them. IRIX made the early Debian installer
look positively user-friendly, and SGI's desire to make everything
whiz-bang nifty by running practically every binary setuid root gave
me fits. But XFS was nice.
