The XFS on disk format supports the required metadata for DMAPI, but the
implementation for it never made it into the mainline Linux kernel. For
years SGI provided a tree to add the support, but for the last few years
the support bitrotted heavily. Alex promised to publush a tree with
updated DMAPI support in the near future.
You'll still need additional userspace support the to actually driver
the migration. The xfstests suite has a minimal implementation for QA
purposes as free software, but I don't think that's what your looking
for. The main user of the XFS DMAPI support is SGI's DMF product,
and at least a few years ago IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager also supported
DMAPI.
