Well, of course SGI does some very stupid/silly things, but they're just
trying to stay alive in this business.  The reason why I mentioned xfs is
because of the fact that SGI actually ported 100% of xfs's features to
linux.  So the XFS that's running on linux right now is the same one
running in IRIX.

Even though that's probably true, the problem I have with JFS is that
IBM's open source port actually comes from OS/2 rather than AIX.  I don't
quite understand that; I thought AIX's JFS version would be more
appropriate for this kind of stuff.

I heard UFS2 will eventually be in NetBSD.  Is UFS2 a 'journaling' file
system?
