Hi I have recently noticed that the DeveloperWorks site has got
reorganized over the years and the JFS papers as a result have
gotten a bit broken, as in there are now only the HTML versions,
and the links to the illustrations seem wrong.

So I have done a bit of searching hoping to find surviving
copies on the net, and I found much more readable copies of the
PDF versions, with the images inline, inside the SUSE 'jfsutils'
RPM, for example inside this RPM:

  ftp://FTP.SUSE.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/src/jfsutils-1.1.7-5.src.rpm

Perhaps those PDFs should extracted from that RPM and put
somewhere on the JFS page on SourceForge, as they still seem
largely current (and much more readable than the broken HTML).

I have also started moving my notes on Linux filesystems and JFS
in particular, and I have written so far a summary of the JFS
layout paper, here:

  http://WWW.sabi.co.UK/Notes/linuxFS.html#jfsStruct

It may not be a faithful summary as some bits of the JFS layout
papers seemed somewhat ambiguous to me, and I have a slightly
different way of looking at things (and it is not that proofread
yet, especially the intralinks).
