OK, I'll ask.  I've used FATxx, NTFS, Extx, and BeFS, but never XFS. 
What are the pros/cons of XFS compared to, say, Ext3 and ReiserFS.  My
limited knowledge is that XFS is what you use on very fast (SCSI320 and
Fibre Channel) systems, ReiserFS is good for small files, and
ext3...well, because I always used ext2, I've never looked elsewhere.

I know they're all in Gentoo (also JFS), which I plan to try out as soon
as 1.4 appears, so it'd be good to know what they are all like.
