I was under the impression that SGI's XFS allowed "Quality of Service (QoS)" capability for at the file stream level.
Or, at least I heard XFS has this on the SGI platform. I assumed the filesystem is the same on SGI.
So why does no one even *mention* QOS capabilities? It is unique among all free file systems, and MUCH more efficent than running QoS against network streams at the router (which is only going to distinguish ports or protocol anyways).
A router has no way to allocate more QOS for say a DVD presentation *over the LAN* and atop of CIFS/Samba... not without giving all other filestreams the same boost.

What about SGI/XFS's QOS-delivery capabilities??
