that i did. hit the "download" link and it took me to a list of
patches to download. that's where i got the kernel patches. however,
for the userspace tools you can't find it there. i have to look
elsewhere to get it. i think i found it in one of the howto there.

probably so. but did you noticed that jfs's kernel patches and
userspace tools are side-by-side? that's what i'm talking about.

yes i've tried both, what, when they were just being introduced to the
kernel so that could explain my not so exciting adventures with them.
i would like to try them again at this point in time that's why i'm
getting the xfs patches. sadly the stable ones are for kernel-2.4.5
and i'm using 2.4.9 kaya development patches i got. i don't know
probably i was so tired yesterday from chasing away my newphews that's
why i got all sorts of errors sa xfs patches. now is sunday the
little bastards are away. <G>
