XFS was developed by SGI in the 1990s for IRIX and was ported to the Linux kernel in 2001.
XFS is currently one of the default file systems of enterprise distributions such as RHEL and SUSE.
Several design features of XFS include: B+ tree-based metadata indexing, delayed allocation, journaling and allocation groups.
ext4 introduced the delayed allocation feature in 2006, while XFS had adopted a similar strategy even earlier.
Btrfs provides the built-in defragmentation command btrfs filesystem defragment, and XFS provides the xfs_fsr tool for online defragmentation.
