I have openSUSE 13.2 on two computers, both have XFS V5 with CRC enabled on the root partition and home partition. There are no other partitions other than swap and vFAT for UEFI boot on one of them. GRUB is in MBR on one and in vFAT for UEFI boot for the new desktop.

I don't know if it is true or not, and I use openSUSE, so I'd have
that patch. However, in the past there have been problems with XFS and
grub, so my routine is to use a separate /boot partition and install
grub there.
