only talking about 64-bit versions here?
Well, we weren't talking about stacks :) but yeah, xfs can use more
stack than ext3, and on a complex IO path that can be a problem. But
4kstacks are another thing taken as holy gospel (though only on x86 for
some reason) so I doubt that will change.
I'm not really serious about xfs as default, btw, but did feel it
necessary to re-educate on the whole "null files" thing. :)
