I have used xfs quite extensively on SGI systems, and have heard about SGI delivering the goods to the Linux world.  Some features of the
filesystem (especially direct I/O access for io intesive applications like video production and the ability to maintain internal or external
logging volumes a la xlv) make it a very tempting bet for Linux in the future.  Have you heard more information on this?
