You might want to ask this question at linux-xfs sgi com , the official
mailing list for the XFS Linux port. To subscribe, send a message with
subject "subscribe linux-xfs" (without the quotes) to
majordomo oss sgi com . Depending on your MUA this link might work:
mailto:majordomo oss sgi com?subject=subscribe%20linux-xfs
