And using the 64-bit XFS will also better[1] than the standard 32-bit XFS.
 Or the hybrid 32-bit XFS using 64-bit layout rules.  (Damn, I only left
SGI at the end of 2008 and I've already forgotten all the stuff I used to
know about the inner machinations of XFS!!  (I wasn't an XFS developer, I
started on CXFS and ended up in QA for the NAS/CXFS/XFS stuff))

And, in re ZFS, there is no "posix_fallocate" equivalent in S10 (that I
can find).  There may be one in OpenSolaris, but I dunno.

1 - Oh, so, so, so much better than the pathetically choked whimpering
little rodent that is 32-bit XFS.  Switching to the 64-bit layout as the
default was prevented because the Linux "stat" system call could not
safely handle 64-bit inodes.  Lusers.
