After googling around (and not finding out how to get XFS enabled in the kernel), people had some concerns about using XFS due to issues and it being about as fast as ext3.
Also people said that I might run into issues with XFS if I run NFS+lvm+xfs+md but I'm not sure if I run lvm and md and if that applies to me.
Just a few random opinions/thoughts on the topic.
* more components (nfs, fs, lvm, ...) uses more stack space * xfs eats stack this is why it's not really good on 32-bit (4K stack) * performance diff vs. ext3 varies not only with work load but also with hardware * ext3 is much more widely used and wont cause you any head aches when a new kernel arrives
