Hallo Dave, MySQL is an application which takes care of data-integrity (
which XFS depends on, as you stated yourself ;-) ). XFS takes care of
the filesystem-integrity, to enable your MySQL to find the files it's
caring of it's content-integrity ( as an application, you see ;-) )

To mount multi-gigabyte filesystems after some kind of desaster in
minutes, not in hours or days ;-). It's only caring for meta-data, not
the data.
