Not sure if this is a dumb question, but why use JFS2? I imagine the "market share" of JFS2 on Linux is probably only a few percent, whereas EXT3 is probably 80% plus. While there may be some technical advantages of JFS2, I imagine the level of support available is going to be much less - so is it worth the risk?

Would be interesting to know. Most of my experience has been with ext3 which, at least in my experience, handles a power drop out quite well - on rare occasions have I had to repair the filesystem. But then again, it probably depends greatly on what it was doing at the time.
