Yes; it works very well.  I'm useing EVMS and XFS together on two
machines.  All of the kernel patches and tools are available in Debian
for both, except for (this may have changed) a critical patch for XFS
that allows it to work correctly with EVMS.  That patch is available
at the EVMS sourceforge site.  You must use the "VFS-Lock" patch if
you plan to use snapshot volumes with journalling file systems.
