I have some largish (>20TB) xfs filesystems on CentOS 6, and things seem
fine. The one issue I had, quite a while ago (and maybe even in CentOS
5?), was with growing the fs, but I grew one on CentOS 6 recently with
no problems.

Define "huge". It seems fine for our use with multi-dozen-GB files
(possibly getting to >100GB files) and many small files, but our load is
generally not that heavy.
