The situation is just as bad over here in Red Hat land.

However it was no walk in the park to get JFS working in Red Hat EL4. They
decided to drop the kernel-unsupported package that on previous RHEL's
contained the JFS kernel support.
However, this just goes to show how great Open Source is :) Our vendors
(Red Hat, SuSe or whoever) tell us they dont like JFS. But I can choose to
give them the finger and prove them wrong and use whatever filesystem I like :)
I've had a bit of a row with the SuSE people over at opensuse.org - I'm
really disappointed that they took JFS support out of 9.3, and that it
hasn't made it back into 10.0. One of the product management team is
now making noises about the small number of people using JFS with SuSE,
and the lack of testing (of the SuSE distro with JFS, not JFS itself).
I found https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=115227 and added a
comment of my own.
There was a pretty severe bug in SuSE 9.3 that caused XT_GETPAGE errors
on boot, but that was fixed in their cvs tree in April. I don't know
why jfs on root would continue to be unsupported.
I run a small(ish) company and we use only JFS - on everything from
workstations to large file-servers and our two small clusters.
Has anyone here got an idea of the popularity of JFS? Or lack of, for
that matter.
