I moved all my myth recordings from a 250GB PATA disk formatted as ext3 to a 250GB SATA disk formatted as jfs. Since then the initial start time after I select a recording to watch has increased dramatically - typically 10-15 seconds before the video appears. I don't know if this is normal, but it's not what I expected. As for corruption, my system hung at the weekend and almost every file that was open on another jfs disk ended up in lost+found after the fsck. (My system hangs often enough that I have fsck on by default after an unsafe shutdown. And yes I know this needs to be resolved.) Fortunately my system disk is still ext3. I think I won't be using jfs for future disks. I may yet go through the pain of backup/reformat/restore for the ones I have.
