If you use the xfs in the mainline kernel, it's a crap shoot because
of the amount of churn in the code, but
if you use a long-term kernel like 2.6.16.y, 2.6.27.y, or the kernels
maintained by distros, then it ought to be stable (as long as the
distro has enough of a user base for other people to find the xfs
bugs first).
