You misunderstand him; other file systems doesn't have all the features
that BFS has - like attributes, indices, queries, etc.
If a file system doesn't support indices, porting it to BeOS (or
OpenBeOS) won't change that. For now, only BFS provides the full
feature set.
I don't know if XFS does on IRIX, but it does not on Linux either.
Adios...
Axel.
