Yea... when I converted from Fedora to Cent I had to push WAF buy buying
extra drives so as to not loose the 400 gigs of programming she had
accumulated.  XFS has one big down side which is you can't reduce the
filessytem size.  Which doesn't seem like a problem till you need to
reconfigure something and have to had more disk space to do it even though
you have 90% of your raid empty of data.
