It's this guy?
kmod-xfs-0.4-1.el4.2.6.9_55.0.2.EL.x86_64.rpm
If this is the replacement (I'm searching list archives but can't seem to find any reference) then how do I load it. I have the yum priorities plugin and it still tries to load the plus kernel (which I'm not using). Do I load it by hand as I always did with kernel-module-xfs?
Thanks for answering,

I was hoping someone on the CentOS team would respond to your query. You need to enable the centosplus repo and try to install kmod-xfs. If this does not find it, the file is actually here (for i386 arch):
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/i386/RPMS/kmod-xfs-0.4-1.el4.2....

Sorry, you need x86_64:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-xfs-0.4-1.el4....

Just a clarification, the above kmod-xfs is for the normal kernel, not the plus one. The centosplus kernel is not needed for xfs to work but xfsprogs and kmod-xfs from the centosplus repo are.

The xfs module will be loaded when needed. It will be loaded If you have an xfs filesystem in fstab or if you do mount -t xfs manually.

For the sake of completeness: There is of course also a kmod-xfs for the centosplus kernel, in case you are running one. Obviously it's the one with the "plus" in it's name. Works absolutely well, just as the module for the standard kernel.

On a related note, what's changed (other than the package name) with the new XFS module? Is this a newer version? Is it considered safe on 32bit kernels?

None of the XFS modules are 100% safe on 4K stacks.
The code that builds the modules are the same, so the modules are the same. It is just wrapped differently in the spec file.
The reason for the shift to kmod is simply because of maintaining code for CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 ... and upstream has rolled in kmod into el5. We want to be consistent and share spec files across distros where possible. But the .ko is the same.
That is also the reason for kmod for DRBD modules as well.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
