On another topic, have you much experience of XFS?

I see people saying that it much more performant and scalable than
ext3, having some of the features that are only now being put into
ext4, and of course the online resizing and freeze/thaw is nice.
Any stability issues though?

And is it still impossible to shrink it, even offline?

Cheers,
Andy
