I confirm that: xfs is useful only in stable environments (suppose you
have an uninterruptable power supply and no user 1.0 accidentally
pushing the power button). And if it gets corrupted it cannot fix
itself during next bootup - you need to fix it by hand (easiest way
with a Live CD). But its fast and performs well in stable environments
(my friend is running a Debian Woody server on top of XFS for years).
