I understand the GPL issues but have spent the last 4-5 years building/maintaining/fixing soloutions for large ISPs/telco/webhosting companies. In that time I have come to appreciate the perfomance and recovery characteristic of XFS in IRIX. Also appreciated the performace reliability and maintainability (is that a real word?) of FreeBSD. In addition I had to fix a couple of busy services that had been deployed on Linux and broken under load (usually through a combination of poor design and the limitations of the Linux kernel). I now find myself in the movie/internet world, looking for 5TB+ file systems to run 24x7 XFS is attractive.
