Are you sure it just returns true, I have had severe corruption on an XFS Its only a file system and nothing Is going to save you when you have a hardware problem. That consistancey check took hours it was a 800gig disk. XFS is not the be all and end all. I think the linux comunity should get behind resierfs and get ourselfs some thing new and GNU from the start. I have been running it on several terabytes for month now, with out any hitches. Sure it doesnt have all the wonderfull comands like xfsdump, but I dont have file systems big enough to dump some of these file systems too. I work with SGI gear every day and im not of the belief that they will support the xfs on linux project for ever. Especialy as they have very limited exposure to the linux market at the moment (at least no ones trying to sell me any thing linux).
