Can XFS be used for a root filesystem?

Yes, with one caveat: Linux does not support an external XFS journal for the root filesystem via the “rootflags=” kernel parameter. To use an external journal for the root filesystem in Linux, an init ramdisk must mount the root filesystem with explicit “logdev=” specified. More information here.
