Cool!

xFS definitely was in use in the NOW cluster; their web pages are
variously out of date, but there are others that describe long-term
usage data collected from xFS. (The GLUnix distfiles seem to have
completely disappeared, incidentally; I've got copies since we
tracked them down so the NetBSD package would continue to work, if
you want them. They might still be in my home dir on the CS
machines, come to think of it.)

In any case, I was looking at the same source you were, Sean. I've
got a feeling newer stuff exists (and I think I've got the right
person to email about it buried somewhere in my notes, which you
should have access to since you're root on that system ;^>) but, as
I said, I haven't gotten back to it yet.
