Hi Stanko -

There is currently no xfs driver available for OSX.   There is some work 
underway outside SGI to port XFS to BSD, so OSX would be a natural 
follow-on for that.  None of this is ready to go at this point, though.

You might also be interesed in CXFS, although that is not an open source 
solution either...

FWIW I just acquired a powerbook, so the notion of xfs on osx is 
intriguing to me as well... :)
