For a first-hand look at XFS, you can do a Linux install of RedHat-7.1 by beginning the install with a CD made from SGI's XFS iso available at ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/ I have one of these systems set up and the journalling doesn't to slow the system much at all. Also had a power failure and the system survived its "smoke test" without damage. Since XFS is GPL'd, inclusion with the FreeBSD kernel seems problematic, however.
