| We're looking at getting an HBR (that's a technical term, honkin' big
| RAID). What I'm considering is, rather than chopping it up into 14TB
| or
| 16TB filesystems, of using xfs for really big filesystems. The
| question
| that's come up is: what's the state of xfs on CentOS6? I've seen a
| number
| of older threads seeing problems with it - has that mostly been
| resolved?
| How does it work if we have some *huge* files, and lots and lots of
| smaller files?

It works well and will be the default for RHEL 7, so that should say something. However, with respect to file system size. Be prepared to have a lot of memory for a file system that is large and a lot of files should you ever need to do a file system check. ;)
