I really don't think you can blindly replace XFS with LFS -- they're
very different critters on the inside and I wouldn't be at all surprised
if they behaved very differently under an identical usage load (just as
LFS behaves very differently from FFS under some usage loads). JFS
might be closer to LFS in some ways, but it has many different
capabilities too.
