"What's missing from XFS, as far as I know, and certainly from EXT3/EXT4, is the concept of adaptive algorithms and on-disk structures. Even the intro to the workshop betrays that the developers have not yet caught on to the need for that."
"Perhaps they can even take some pages out of the Reiser4 playbook with dancing B*-trees and such."
So XFS having a number of different inode structures from completely inline to large btrees is not an adaptive algorithm? And guess where Reiser4 took many of these ideas from?
