[COLUG] XFS file system

[Brian Miller]

Does anyone use XFS on Linux for much?  We tend to use SuSE at work, and that 
use to default to Reiserfs. (I've seen comments that they are starting to 
move back to ext3 recently.)  But about a year ago, after hearing some people 
at Novell talk about how Reiserfs starts to show some serious performance 
hits once you get to 4 processors, we started moving to XFS.  We haven't had 
any problems with it.

Last week I installed a Kubuntu workstation, and selected XFS for the file 
system, and received an error that grub sometimes doesn't work with XFS, and 
it suggested I either use LILO or switch to a different file system.

I'll admit that when using XFS inside of a VMWare guest I have had problems 
getting a system to boot, but I've never had problems on physical hardware.  
Has anyone else had issues with using XFS for / or /boot?
