I wouldn't tout ext4 as a savior too much..  There are still many
patches happening (some of which without, I lost a couple TB of data)
every day..  I can only assume the xfs situation you speak of is
related to the stuff happening on  lkml..  I guess the sgi folks only
get excited when there are at least 256 cpus in a machine  :)

I went back to resiser..  It has always been good to me..

Personally, I cannot believe RH went with ext4 and 2.6.32 as their
platfor of choice for RHEL6..  It's gonna undo them...  I bet their
support costs go through the roof...
