I have a couple of 3.1TB FC arrays here and I had no real problems with
xfs on them so far. We have to reset the machines from time to time,
'cause nvidia drivers and data moving locks up the complete machine, but
even then no data losses occured. The lastest kernels we use (2.6.16)
checks the filesystems/logs without any hickups during mount phase.

Commandline xfs_check won't work (out of memory error), but checking
with xfs_repair works fine here. It will need a lot of memory though, so
have at least 3GB RAM installed.

    Cheers,
                   Frank...
