Forward this from the linux-xfs list, in hoping that decision-makers will consider XFS as the default suse OS install choice.
I use XFS, but it has issues when used for the root (/) filesystem, it is incompatible with grub in the same partition (there are bugzillas for this, solution: known issue non solvable). So, grub has to go to the mbr or you need an extra /boot partition. Therefore, the ext3/4 family is a better choice as default filesystem, because it works on all scenarios.
Those that know or have different needs, can and do use xfs. I use xfs and reiserfs.
I have been on reiserfs since, almost, the beginning and - love it - it takes a beating and keep on ticking. Before I bought, out of necessity, a UPS, we keep getting brown-outs, spikes and complete power failures, and reiserfs has never failed - me. Now, I'm not the most speed observing person however when I was very very low on space, it was the - best - option to get the best use of space (even with major tweaking on the others filesystems). To bad - it's not - continuing being developed.
