Performance is debatable here.  JFS is sturdy, stable and works very
nicely. It doesn't support badblocks masking or searching (neither do
reiserfs, I think its only ext3 that does it as of now)

It has a good throughput, and is not as dependant on CPU as either ext3
nor Reiserfs is.   

Recoverywise its got good tools, behaves nicely and so far hasn't balked
even when doing bad things to it.  Well recommended for a piece of
machinery where you don't have extreme performance needs.

Personally I run it on some parts of the disk, including encrypted
/home and root disk on the other machine ,  and I'm very satisfied with
it.
