<command>vfs_linux_xfs_sgid</command> is a VFS module to work around an
- old Linux XFS bug that still exists: Under certain circumstances the
- SGID bit is not inherited (<ulink url="http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280">

The <command>vfs_linux_xfs_sgid</command> VFS module will work around this
bug by manually setting the SGID bit after a <command>mkdir</command>
if the parent directory had the SGID bit set.
