Well, this isn't really a useful answer (not that there is one). He
wanted to know about the filesystems available under Linux. If you
don't look at *that* particular, then you're probably wrong, too.
I'm sure the 4.4BSD FFS is better that 386BSD's older implementation,
as is the log-stuctured file system in many cases.
And do you have numbers comparing xiafs/ext2/FFS on the same hardware
with comparable aging/fragmentation? I would indeed like to see them.
