BUT ... this code is still not 100% working with 4K stacks (which all EL 4 and FC 3/4/5 kernels currently use). A note from SGI on this code:
FWIW, I believe only the ia32 kernels have 4KSTACKS turned on... last I checked Opteron still did not have this option... feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
xfs over normal ide/scsi should be fine w/ 4kstacks; if you start piling lvm on top of md under nfs etc etc, you could start running into stack issues with 4KSTACKS.

Just had to cover myself a bit ;-)
