Sorry I don't have the original message, so this won't thread correctly...anyway, I was wondering if anyone has tried this, or if the status has changed at all. I have a project where I might need to set up an XFS filesystem on a Centos 4.2/4.3 system, and I was wondering if anyone had any positive (or negative) experience with this.

Works fine for me - although I haven't used it on an NFS server with file systems over LVM/MD ... etc.

I have not heard any negative feedback - but then I have not heard much positive either. :) There is one patch in there that should go away, now that there is a VFS change in the U3 / -34 kernel. I'll try to get an update out after a bit.

Thanks - I was wondering about the new kernel, since I also plan on upgrading to the new U3 bits as soon as they are available. I'll keep an eye out. I also hope that in the application I have I wouldn't run into any of the stack-type issues. It WILL be an NFS server, but other than that it would be simple - no LVM, no software RAID, etc. since it is a simple filesystem on top of a hardware RAID-0 set.
