Also, *why* are you mixing xfs and nfs services in the same

Out of curiosity, why not ?
In theory the choice of disk filesystem and network file sharing
protocol should be independent.
How different is the practice ?
I had some bad, bad experience with XFS and haven't used it since. It
completely destabilized my bulk storage environment: things may have
changed.
I've deliberately and effectively kept my file systems below the 16 TB
range and worked well with ext4. I've occasionally used larger scale
commercial storage serves such as NetApp's for larger NFS environments
since then.
I use XFS on a small RAID6 array (its 2Tb - not huge), and I mount it
via NFS to other systems. I haven't had a kernel crash as yet.
