That's not completely true - XFS existed in the Linux kernel before EL5
- however, RedHat's support of XFS was added to the EL 5.4 kernel with a
backport of a contemporary XFS release - and has had fixes added in
subsequent EL5 kernels
However, I would agree that unless you have a very good reason for
staying with CentOS 5, then using CentOS 6 would be better - regardless
of XFS support
