XFS: the filesystem of the future?

This is really one of my favourite things about Open Source. Much of the amazing technology that allows me to get the most out of my modest hardware was originally designed for very high-end workstation and data-center type use. As commodity hardware approaches the capabilities of yesterday's high end the benefits of the software trickle-down to the rest of us.

XFS was not designed for home media server or my development laptop but I sure enjoy it anyway.
