	"The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is an ambitious effort to map one-quarter of the sky at optical and very-near infrared wavelengths and take spectra of 1 million extra-galactic objects. The estimated amount of data that will be acquired over the 5 year lifespan of the project is 15TB, however, the total amount of storage space required for object informational databases, corrected frames, and reduced spectra will be several factors more than this. The goal is to have all the data online and available to the collaborators at all times. To accomplish this goal we are using commodity, off the shelf (COTS) Intel servers with EIDE disks configured as RAID50 arrays using XFS. Currently, 14 machines are in production accounting for over 18TB. By the scheduled end of the survey in 2005, 50TB of XFS disks will be online serving SDSS data to collaborators and the public."

	"The Ciprico DiMeda line of Network Attached Storage solutions combine the ease of connectivity of NAS with the SAN like performance levels required for digital media applications. The DiMeda 3600 provides high availability and high performance through dual NAS servers and redundant, scalable Fibre Channel RAID storage. The DiMeda 1700 provides high performance files services at a low price by using the latest Serial ATA RAID technology. All DiMeda systems are based on Linux and use XFS as the filesystem. We tested a number of filesystem alternatives and XFS was chosen because it provided the highest performance in digital media applications and the journaling feature ensures rapid failover in our dual node fault tolerant configurations."

			"A bit more than a year ago (as of October 2008) kernel.org, in an ever increasing need to squeeze more performance out of it's machines, made the leap of migrating the primary mirror machines (mirrors.kernel.org) to XFS. We site a number of reasons including fscking 5.5T of disk is long and painful, we were hitting various cache issues, and we were seeking better performance out of our file system."

			"After initial tests looked positive we made the jump, and have been quite happy with the results. With an instant increase in performance and throughput, as well as the worst xfs_check we've ever seen taking 10 minutes, we were quite happy. Subsequently we've moved all primary mirroring file-systems to XFS, including www.kernel.org , and mirrors.kernel.org. With an average constant movement of about 400mbps around the world, and with peaks into the 3.1gbps range serving thousands of users simultaneously it's been a file system that has taken the brunt we can throw at it and held up spectacularly."

	"At the D0 experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory we have a ~150 node cluster of desktop machines all using the SGI-patched kernel. Every large disk (>40Gb) or disk array in the cluster uses XFS including 4x640Gb disk servers and several 60-120Gb disks/arrays. Originally we chose reiserfs as our journaling filesystem, however, this was a disaster. We need to export these disks via NFS and this seemed perpetually broken in 2.4 series kernels. We switched to XFS and have been very happy. The only inconvenience is that it is not included in the standard kernel. The SGI guys are very prompt in their support of new kernels, but it is still an extra step which should not be necessary."
