I'm running XFS on several SPARC / PPC / IA32 (laptop) machines and am yet to
encounter any issues with it. XFS is a mature JFS having been used by SGI for
many years before they GPL'd it. It currently needs to be applied to kernel
source as a patch but this is not an obstacle. The only reason I have not
converted production servers is the downtime involved and I have not yet felt
the need to work out of hours to deploy a JFS.
FWIW I'm running 2.4.10 with XFS.
