This issue has some similarities to the one I was  observing on multiple 
machines, the cause why I banned jfs from all production. The reproducer uses 
hard reboots, but it also occurred on minimal systems, where reboot is very 
fast, e.g. <2sec (missing sync?)

Last modified: files corrupted, e.g. /var/log/dmesg.3.gz (a file which is 
created once, never touched again, just renamed and which was quite old when 
getting corrupted). Fsck will then complete corruption by removing the data, 
before that the actions to the corrupted file content are quite random, perhaps 
blocks are included in more than one  file at the same time.
 
The Ubuntu issue from below has some reproducer, which wrecked each jfs 
filesystem back then within minutes. Perhaps one could try to use it to see if 
it still leads to massive fs corruption, even of files not touched?
