Hmmm, I guess that wasn't made clear - we are working on getting XFS functioning in Linux ourselves, but some help would probably be appreciated. The thing we have to get done first is to produce an unencumbered version of the source - i.e. one which does not include code copyrighted by people other than SGI. After that hopefully other people can jump in.
