Only the tools need to be upgraded with the kernel. You're going to run into
that with every JFS out there, so it's always a good move in general -- although
be sure to _always_ read the docs that accompany both.
Unlike some JFS' out there, XFS' structure remains relatively unchanged. I
thank God almost everyday that SGI ported XFS from Irix -- damn sweet design in
the first place.
From my understanding, changes of the on-disc structure have beene few and far
between in the Linux port itself. MIPS->Intel default blocksize and only a few
other things if I remember correctly? So version upgrading is effortless -- at
least on the same platform.
