developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
XFS combines advanced journaling technology with full 64-bit
addressing and scalable structures and algorithms.
+ Journaled 64-bit filesystem with guaranteed filesystem consistency.
+ XFS supports filesystem growth for mounted volumes, allows
filesystem "freeze" and "thaw" operations to support volume level
snapshots, and provides an online file defragmentation utility.
+ XFS supports user and group quotas. XFS considers quota information
as filesystem metadata and uses journaling to avoid the need for
lengthy quota consistency checks after a crash.
+ For Linux 2.6 and beyond, when using 64 bit addressing in the block
devices layer (CONFIG_LBD) and a 64 bit platform, filesystem size
limit increases to 9 million terabytes (or the device limits). For
these later kernels on 32 bit platforms, 16TB is the current limit
even with 64 bit addressing enabled in the block layer.
This package contains filesystem manipulation and support programs.
Very loosely based on the FreeBSD port (I took the MASTER_SITES from there).
