XFS is not stable on 32-bit systems. You should not use it there. You need a 64-bit kernel.
Default for servers should be 64-bit now anyway. Not many reasons left for a 32-bit system, and more and more 3. party applications have less and less support for 32-bit platforms in general.
That is for you rich people :-) Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest server hardware. There are tons of older servers out there. I still manage some servers with only 2GB of RAM and some of their motherboards accept a *maximum* of 4GB. Those precious few GB are better used with a 32bit OS, don't you agree?
If they do what you want without making you wait, why even consider changing the filesystem that has been working for years on these machines?
