Hi Alex,
I use JFS, and have been quite satisfied with its performance, and
reliability.
~ On the subject of dead file systems, if they're going to remove
JFS from the
kernel because IBM is no longer supporting it, then they'd better
also remove
the reiserfs, as well. It is also totally unmaintained. [Google
'reiserfs' or
'hans reiser' - without the quotes, and you'll see why it is
unlikely that it
will be supported again - his site is down, as well].
Anyhow, JFS hasn't given me any problems, and at one time I used it
for
everything except for my /boot partition.
Regards,
Chris
