So Google has recently revealed to me. I was thinking it was generally
available now, but apparently I had been thinking about the FUSE module.
Too bad that they have not had time to optimize performance.

Alas, I just don't have a separate box for a storage server now...nor do
I really want the extra power/heat issues, either.

Looks like sticking with XFS for now.

Thanks.
