Given we have just had our best year for SciFi movies that I can remember with Star Trek, District 9, and Moon all extremely good I would have thought SciFi was in good hands with some new benchmarks for future movies to aspire to.

How are filesystems that were designed from the ground up to be journaled filesystems "essentially bolt journaling to the traditional file system UNIX layout"?

Did you actually bother to look at the layout of an XFS filesystem?

You refer to a Debian article on XFS CPU usage, but fail to mention that the conclusion of the aritcle is "Based on all testing done for this benchmark essay, XFS appears to be the most appropriate filesystem to install on a file server for home or small-business needs" and "Personally, I still choose XFS for filesystem performance and scalability".

You then go on to continue the myth about XFS corrupting your data, a myth that has been debunked countless times. Changes were made to XFS some time ago so that it behaves in a way that user's were expecting.

It's a somewhat half hearted blog in my opinion and I'm surprised that slashdot picked it up.
