I've used it quite a bit.  It had the best general characteristics
for our usage as measured by various tests.   I've got one requirement
that calls for writing to disk two fully saturated Gig-E channels.
XFS had the best aggregate write performance spooling to two 12-disk
RAID-5 arrays, giving about 260-MB/Sec per array with a CPU load
average of about 0.3.  This is with one computer using one 3Ware RAID
controller and 24 1-TB data disks.  I've got another requirement that
calls for streaming video data to a 36-TB array.  Once again, XFS
handled the load.  I've also been using it for general desktop/laptop
usage (except /boot, which is EXT-2).

YMMV, of course...

Regards,
Lew
