My understanding is that there is a license issue once again. It's not that the SGI folks aren't interested in porting XFS to FreeBSD but I don't have any real details. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&w=2&r=1&s=freebsd+issues&q=b http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=100342420410938&w=2 There are a couple of threads there on the subject. The Christmas present I'm hoping for would be 'fsck -B' MFC'd from the 5.0 work that is being done.

There have been mutterings about porting xfs, but I don't think it's actually happening. I'm not sure it would help with your problem, either. On the other hand, the directory caching code in the development branch will help with that kind of thing without needing another file system. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
