It may be a 1.0 filesystem under Linux, but XFS itself has been well proven.
We are using the XFS 1.0.1 patches to the redhat 7.1 kernel on a number of
production systems without issue so far.
I am currently in the process of migrating our Cyrus mail server to an XFS
formatted disk as I too have found the things to be very slow under ext2 with
the synchronous flag set.
