Heh... well. What XFS has to offer is explained in a fair amount of detail on their page. My "idle wondering" was centered more around whether it would be desirable to have this functionality available for FreeBSD, taking into account all the variables (e.g. the fact that it is under GPL). I was hoping someone with more knowledge than I have of FreeBSD's future filesystem direction could humour me. This is -chat, after all. :-) -- Johann To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
