We've got a 110 TB xfs system in production based on a logical volume striped over 9 boxes of SATA disk, works like a charm with great throughput as we stripe over 3 controllers :-)
Are you running x86 32bit or x86_64 ?
iirc there has been problems with XFS on 32bit kernel.. stack size related or so? So 64bit has been the recommended way to go..
We run 64bit on most machines cuz they've got more than 4 gig ram. (And any besserwissers about to sound of about PAE kernels can kindly do so in another thread cuz I'm NOT listening!)
As an aside, I hadn't heard of issues with 32bit xfs but in retrospect it can see the logic in it: a lot of company-supplied code has had 64bit issues cuz it came from a 32bit environment, but SGI was never "most companies" :-)
