XFS was out there for a couple of years before it was merged. XFS was out there before reiserfs was merged, we first released against 2.3.43 from my memory. There is a timeline here: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/news.html XFS went a lot of places before it went into the 2.4 kernel, it has been in 2.6 for over a year for starters. Steve
