I've been wanting to try XFS filesystem in SME7.0beta for some time. While researching a major stumbling block (missing kernel-sourcecode RPMs in CentOS 4.2) to building SMEserver-specific kernel RPMs against the "unsupported" kernels in the "centosplus" repository, I stumbled across some experimental XFS kernel module RPMs on dev.centos.org. These RPMs are built against the stock kernels ship with 7.0beta8. They are working well for me so far. Here are some links for those who are interested:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL-0.1-1.i686.rpm
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELhugemem-0.1-1.i686.rpm
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp-0.1-1.i686.rpm
You'll also need dmapi, xfsdump and xfsprogs:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/dmapi-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/xfsdump-2.2.30-1.i386.rpm
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/xfsprogs-2.7.3-1.i386.rpm
Also, here's a link to a relevant post on the centos-devel mailing list:

Enjoy! :-D
