FC2 has a documented problem with with trying to format a JFS partition at install time - by entering "linux jfs" at the boot prompt, and then selecting JFS as the partition type when in disk druid. As a result, JFS is not installed on my system.
I want to try JFS as the file system for my video partition. But I can't find binaries that I can apt-get. Does anyone know where I might get them. Google turns up squat.
I'd be wary of using JFS to be honest. I did my initial mythtv setup with a big JFS LVM group, as well as using it for the root partition, and I had nothing but problems. It was *very* unforgiving of unexpected reboots and the final straw came when I had to do a hard reset of the box after a spectacular failure to get my ATI driver working and it blew away both superblocks of the LVM group - lost everything. I've since switched to using ext3 and it works really well. Not had any problems with large files (I use a pair of DVB-T cards so the files are MPEG2 and therefore pretty hefty). I would also consider ReiserFS as I've been using that with no problems for a couple of years on my main linux server.
To be honest, I'm not convinced JFS is mature enough, and if you check the mailing lists for it there are quite a few people still pulling out bugs from the hat...
