The defragfs tool was an unported holdover from OS/2, which is why it was removed. There never was a working Linux version. I have some ideas to improve jfs allocation to avoid fragmentation problems, but jfs isn't my full-time job anymore, so I can't promise anything. I'm not sure about the corruption claims. I'd like to hear some specifics on that. Anyway, for enterprise use, I couldn't recommend jfs, since there is no full-time maintainer.
