Hi Russell!

xfs ... , not tried that ... , mostly I have used ext2 or ext3
... , will keep the older system, hassle in mind ...

The older installation guidelines indicated using jfs or xfs for large
hard drives (doesn't give a size).

Must look into that sometime ...

In your free time. <gg>

(extracted from above)

XFS is a high-performance journaling file system created by Silicon
Graphics, originally for their IRIX operating system and later ported to
the Linux kernel. XFS is particularly proficient at handling large files
and at offering smooth data transfers.

Capacity

XFS is a 64-bit file system. It supports a maximum file system size of 8
binary exabytes minus one byte, though this is subject to block limits
imposed by the host operating system. On 32-bit Linux systems, this
limits the file and file system sizes to 16 binary terabytes.

Didn't see anything about how small the hard drive/partition could be (minimum capacity; bytes), so I'm guessing xfs is just another method of formatting as far as that topic is concerned. It seems to be able to
handle large files better than other formats.
