I think you've confused xfs with ReiserFS. Because of tail
compression, ReiserFS is *great* for situations where you've got
thousands of 2KB files (a Maildir IMAP server, for example).
OTOH, SGI's primary business was video, which means huge files,
which is what they tuned (Irix) xfs for.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
