    Excellent, I'll check it out.
    Does anyone know where to find documentation for the layout, etc. for
XFS?  I've heard good things about its scalability and want to learn more
about it if possible.

    Also, just for grins, does anyone have a reference for the Macintosh HFS+
filesystem?

    Thanks,
