Well, I have a linkstation lspro, even if it's running now "freelink" 
(i.e. debian, oabi, for the linkstation 
http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/FreeLink), it's using the 
stock, eabi[*], kernel (Linux lspro 2.6.12.6-arm1 #2 Mon Jul 23 22:35:39 
CEST 2007 armv5tejl GNU/Linux) and xfs works just fine.

[*] though I think, but I'm not sure, it was not the real thing but 
something that marvell patched in.

However, any later kernel I tried "breaks" xfs (that's why I originally 
subscribed to this list), i.e. I cannot see the contents of some directories
(more details here: 
http://buffalo.nas-central.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=35061#p35061)

The strange thing is that I can mount the failing image on i386, so it 
probably has the correct structures on disk.

Maybe looking at what marvell/buffalo patched in that kernel could give 
some insight on the xfs issues with arm.
