I have JFS on LVM on raid1.
I have been chicken to resize my / fs (its a bit small) until Etch is
stable. I plan to do this when it is stable after I've downloaded and
burned CD1.
Since you already have LVM set up, why not create an LV, put JFS on it,
extend the LV, then resize the JFS and see how it goes?
I started, like everyone else, with ext2. I used to live in an area
with frequent power failures without a UPS. I tried ext3 but still had
fs problems. I tried reiser; ditto. Once JFS came out, I tried it and
it has been great.
LVM/raid is new to me since I installed Etch on my new box. I havn't
tried a resize yet.
