I certainly think so; XFS runs on my Compaq/Red Hat 6.1 server with a 30 GB,
7200 RPM IDE drive. The server is a file/web/streaming media server; it runs
just fine. Fast as hell with Samba, and the ACL support is great. I use a
CVS version from a while back, and that is stable as hell. Never crashed, as
a matter of fact, no problems whatsoever.
