The defaults mkfs.xfs uses in 2.10.1 are different to 2.8.1. The
newer version enables features that are only availble in more recent
kernels (since about 2.6.19, IIRC), so it would seem that your ADSL
box has an old kernel on it that does not support the newer, faster,
shinier features XFS has....
The kernel version of your ADSL box, as well as the mkfs.xfs output
from both distro's would help confirm this.
Cheers,
Dave.
