Check out the following articles by Daniel Robbins:

The articles are slightly outdated, but will give you a clue as to 
what XFS is...

You need to emerge xfs-sources for support  XFS of 
filesystems. I've been using XFS for a few months now, but I wouldnt
use it on a computer which is not connected to a UPS since I've had
a few nasty accidents with XFS where shutting down in the middle of
an emerge has left my system crippled (on a computer NOT on a UPS).

If you have a UPS then I suggest you give the XFS filesystem a
try... but please make sure to read more about it, since you can
loose data if you are not careful and do a hard shutdown in the
middle of something important.
