You still need something to manage your physical storage that the base XFS filesystem is placed on.

I'm not sure why one giant filesystem completely filling the physical storage needs management -- but I suppose if it's sitting on a RAID array or something, that array is more growable than if it were a simple disk of that size, so you might still need some layer between the physical storage and the top-level XFS.
