Thanks to both of you for your quick replies.  I'll just clarify here what
I was asking, because I believe you have both already answered my
questions.

By "lose anything" I meant to suggest that assuming the data has been
written to disk, will JFS have any problems later on.  I'm not overly
worried about the metadata for, as mentioned, the filesystem only gets
one large file at a time, which is then moved off later.  As David mentioned,
the filesystem is used only for these files, and while not desired, the
data can be recovered.

So if I'm getting a performance increase, and my only worry is a power
loss before the data exists on the hard drive, then I'm pretty happy
using nointegrity.


Thanks again,
Justin.
