-XFS is [SGI]'s file system
optimised for "Enterprise use". What this means in practise is that it scales very well to huge disks
, with huge directoriesa
and huge files. It has some very interesting features, like dedicated high performance I/O areas, allowing you to dedicate part of your disk to files that you want very low latency to access, for example video files you are currently editing.
