Is XFS a distributed file system or a journaling file system?

In Wikipedia it says that XFS is a journaling file system, but in the Berkely website they mentioned that it is a serverless file system/Distributed file system.

Which one is true?

It appears you may be confusing XFS (a journaling file system) with xFS which appears to be something entirely different. Case matters.......

Both are true, because these are two different projects.

You should have noticed that:

  • The latest xFS release was in 1997.
  • The Wikipedia article on XFS doesn't link there, but to other sites. Such an article usually links to the project site, which seems to be xfs.org.

Please read more carefully.
