Additionally, grub won't always work when /boot is on an XFS partition. Don't ask me why or what, but it has some known problems when /boot is XFS.
You mean as a separate partition, a small 20 MiB, say? I always use ext2 for that, no need for a journal there. A small xfs partition doesn't make sense, imo, neither does reiser (it has a minimun size of 100MiB, by the way).
It may not make much sense wrt journaling in itself, but we use JFS on everything, including small /boot-partitions. There's not much reason why we shouldn't, and it means only having to deal with one filesystem. /Per Jessen, Zürich
