SGI has made available the pre-release version 0.9 of its high-end XFS file
system ported to Linux®. Code and detailed information are at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/prerelease.html.
Thanks to the extensive interest and contributions from the community, the
XFS file system for Linux has made significant progress since its Beta
release in September 2000. Although there are still some features to be
finalized, the pre-release code is currently stable in a majority of normal
environments. We welcome and encourage interested users to try out the code
aggressively in your test environments, so that we can work through the
final stage of the development and bug fixes to meet your production needs.
SGI XFS Pre-release 0.9 is available in the following three fashions:
· As a patch against linux-2.4.0.
· As a set of RPMs.
· As a complete system installer which works with Red Hat 7.0 media to run
XFS on the root partition.
We will be demonstrating XFS as the root file system for high availability
and clustering solutions in SGI systems at LinuxWorld New York from January
31 to February 2. Free XFS CDs will also be available at LinuxWorld.
For more information on the open source project of XFS for Linux, please see
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/index.html.
Thanks very much - please email me at yili@sgi.com if you have any
questions.

Any information on XFS interoperability with current kernel nfsd?

What support does XFS provide for clustering?

This statement is a little misleading, the clustering software is other
stuff from SGI, they just have xfs filesystems on the machines. Now CXFS
is another story, but it only exists for Irix now and it is almost certainly
not going to be open source when it is available for Linux (and yes I know
that makes packaging and support really interesting).

One reason for this is, that in a shared nothing cluster on fail over you may
have to have a filesystem check. and that is simly taking too long if you do
not have a log filesystem. Thats why reiser, jfs, xfs or ext3 makes sense here.
