jfs is the journaling-file-system from ibm -- the aix filesystem without
the LVM. 

We have  ext3, raiserfs, xfs and jfs.

disadvantages: 
   ext3 isn't a real journalingfs or better: it hasen't the ful
        power. Forget ext3.
   xfs  is non-free stuff

So we have two important fs: raiser and jfs. Both uses b-trees. But 
raiserfs is (currently) only for ia32. 

jfs is gpl, supports other archs then ia32 (powerpc, ...) and also
64bit archs (ia64); jfs for ia32-smp is also possible.

raiserfs is more tested then jfs. But i personally like jfs more then
raiserfs.
