The XFS team has been working on a training course aimed at developers, support staff and experienced users, that explores the internals and ondisk format of XFS.

  • XFS Overview and Internals [Index]

Barry Naujok has documented most of the XFS ondisk format, including examples on how to traverse the structure and diagnose ondisk problems:

  • XFS Filesystem Structure [pdf]

The October 2009 issue of the USENIX ;login: magazine published an article about XFS targeted at system administrators:

  • XFS: The big storage file system for Linux [pdf]

At the Ottawa Linux Symposium (July 2006), Dave Chinner presented a paper on filesystem scalability in Linux 2.6 kernels:

At linux.conf.au 2008 Dave Chinner gave a presentation about xfs_repair that he co-authored with Barry Naujok:

  • Fixing XFS Filesystems Faster [[1]]

In July 2006, SGI storage marketing updated the XFS datasheet:
