Marcelo Tosatti, maintainer i kernel 2.4, ka njoftuar që është shtuar në degën stabël të kernel suporti për XFS, filesystem-i i shpejtë i SGI.

"XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance and scalability."

FYI

Christoph reviewed XFS patch which changed generic code, and it was
stripped down later to a set of changes which dont modify the code
behaviour (except for a few bugfixes which should have been included
separately anyway) and are pretty obvious.

So its that has been merged, along with fs/xfs/.
