(Why? ext3 and 4 are exceptionally well supported by Linux and GNU. XFS
will be, too, probably.)
Are you kidding? XFS already is all of the things you mention. You
apparently need a history lesson.
XFS went into production systems starting in 1993 on SGI's Indy
workstations. XFS was GPL'd by SGI in 2000, and was in Linux mainline just
before EXT3, since mid 2001 in kernel 2.4. It was used almost exclusively
on the IA64 Altix machines. It took a while before non SGI customers
starting trying out XFS on i386 hardware.
