SGI has released a portion of the XFS source code under the GPL:

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/

the source file is xfs_log.tar.gz.

Of greater interest at this stage are the documents in:

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/design_docs/

I am currently researching methods for implementing the 64-bit
syscalls stat64(), fstat64(), lseek64() &etc.  delineated in the
SGI design doc _64 Bit File Access_  by Adam Sweeney.

The BSD-XFS port will be made available as a patch to the RELEASE
FreeBSD kernels.
