OK, thanks for the update. The comment was made during a discussion of the support for JFS in openSUSE and SLES. SUSE Linux/openSUSE deprecated support for JFS quite some time ago, and this was one of the reasons given. We're using a lot of JFS, and the remark just made me a little uneasy. /Per Jessen, Zürich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
