Thanks for the reply John. However, my question wasn't so much "if I
should" but how the xfs support in CentOS compares to jfs. It seems to
me that xfs is a bit more up-to-date.
If you'd like, consider the question academic vs giving me a
recommendation that pushes me down the path of unsupported filesystem
doom. :-)
