XFS had a translation layer (perhaps still do) to interface their irix 
code to the kernel. I dont know if they bypassed VFS or if they did their 
own thing. But they had serious corruption issues for a very long time.
And still have design flaws which prevent me from using XFS in production 
(the inability to fsck a read-only mounted fs being one of them).
