Bob,
Since you asked... I've been running XFS on every Linux box I've touched
for the last few years with never a single hiccup, even when stacking RAID or
LVS, it's always been flawless for me. Others have not been so lucky, but
that could be said for any filesystem.
My current backend runs 6 750GB drives, configured as 3 RAID0 arrays of 2
drives each. No hiccups, and my logs are clean.
In the past I've run XFS on LVS or RAID arrays with dozens of mixed SATA,
SCSI, and IDE drives of various sizes and manufacturers with all kinds of
weird partitioning schemes to squeeze out the last few MB of storage space
back before "storage groups" went mainstream, and didn't have any
problems even then.
