I have been a fairly happy user of JFS for the past few weeks
and having looked at it and other filesystem I still have a few
questions:

* Is it still the case that as reported in 'man'(8) JFS does not
  implement the 'sync' mounting option as the «sync option today
  has effect only for ext2, ext3 and ufs»?

* What regulates the journal commit interval? With 'ext3' one
  can explicitly regulate it at mount time with '-O commit=N',
  is there something similar?

* If JFS does not have its own commit interval parameter, are
  the journal blocks subject only to the settings in the various
  '/proc/sys/vm/dirty_*' parameters, and if not, what is the
  policy for syn'ing updated journal blocks?

* Is 'jfs_fsck' multithreaded? If not, how well or badly does it
  scale to RAIDs with many large discs, say 10-20 250GiB ones?
