Re: FreeBSD adds XFS Read Only Support
Also found this on file system max capacity.

Benefits of XFS
So, what does this design give XFS? Well, scalability is obvious. UFS scales well to around 1 TB, NTFS to around 2 TB and XFS to around 18-19 million TB (these numbers are theoretical, I am just talking about the design here). Small difference there. It is also a very fast file system, allowing reads of up to 7 GB/sec. One thing some might find disturbing about the file system, is delayed allocation. It does this for good reasons, but the delay means that while a crash will not destroy FS, it might result in significant loss of data that has not yet been written to the disc.
