Well, while a fan of anything IRIX, I've had issues with XFS in the past as with all filesystems. I still use it but not in all cases. A good fs, fast, reliable for the most part but by no means a fan boi of it. You did come across as a serious fan though. However if you like XFS, I'll assume you liek IRIX so check the 5dwm project which is the IRIX desktop for Linux. - aurf
