AND ... XFS does _not_ fulfill the LSB runtime test suite
(see http://www.linuxbase.org/test/ and the links therein) which means
e.g. return values of filesystem system calls do not fit the the
expected values ... IMHO this is one point for not using it as root
file system or for a file system within a production system.
