This problem is also discussed at http://forum.nas-central.org/viewforum.php?f=18 in several topics.
In short it seems to be an alignment/cache flush-issue (as im no kernel hacker i dont know the details though). As a consequence there are huge problems on ARM-devices using XFS beginning with kernels >= 2.6.16. Although the FS *seems* to be consistant (i.e. copying on/off the xfs partition works without corruption) you cant use xfs_check or xfs_repair on it (they show lots of errors). Which renders the FS unusable on the long run (noone wants an uncheckable FS ;)). Solution: the next best thing to use performance-wise is JFS for a low-end fileserver (i.e. most NASes) with loads of small files).
