I've been using XFS on a server with a 17 TB hardware RAID6 (8 disks, hot
swap) for more than ten years - without any problems.

The reason for XFS was just that the guv who sold me the hardware said
"use XFS at best" - but I can't remember why he told me so (perhaps
because of the size).

Anyway, it didn't "feel" any better of worse than EXT4.
