Well, I've just gone through the exercise of removing xfs from my
jbllinux distro. I got tired of wiating for xfs to catch up with
current kernel releases. As luck would have have it, xfs have made a
major leap forward in the last day or two - they are now offering
patches for 2.4.10. Oh well, you still can't use any of the ACn
kernel series with xfs. And, as far as I know, grub still can't
handle xfs.
Now that all my releases (jblinux, gentoo, Caldera 3.1 beta) are
comfortably at home on reiserfs, I did a little searching to see what
I'm missing performance-wise. You can view the results at
http://www.namesys.com/benchmarks/benchmark-results.html
If I read the results correctly, xfs (whatever other benefits it may
supply) is about 2-5x slower on most operations for smaller block
sizes and 1-2x slower even for the largest block sizes. So, it's not
a great loss for me to end this experiment.
