Early SGI history[edit]

I have a question - if this page lists the history of XFS in Linux, why ignore the history of XFS in the SGI Unix OS? That history is relevant in that it shows the progression of XFS starting as a high-risk feature that matured into a feature that shipped with the base distribution and then matured to the point where it became the default.

If you're interested in the history of the XFS filesystem, it seems wrong to ignore that part of the history. The development and hardening of the core filesystem code was done long before XFS was ported to Linux.

My apologies for adding this section before I logged in - I'm not a wikipedia expert. But I was a member of the original XFS development team :-). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:38C0:C7B0:B5FE:9050:7A72:6725 (talk) 16:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which distros use XFS as default?[edit]

From the first sentence:

as of June 2014, XFS is supported by most Linux distributions, some of which use it as the default file system.

Which one? The only one I know is RHEL. CentOS gets discontinued and OpenSuse uses Btrfs. So maybe the sentence in its current form is misleading; if it is not, please insert the systems that do use it as default. If it's really just RHEL, we could just write that. --Leo Navis (talk) 16:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

XFS is the default file system for all Centos builds since Centos 7 including Centos 9 Stream. Kornbelt888 (talk) 03:07, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
