JFS has some issues similar to XFS. I don't have a problem shuffling 4 
HDTV video streams around simultaneously with my multi-terabyte ext3 
array, and its never ate data like I've seen XFS and JFS do. Its far and 
away the safest file system, and performance isn't so bad with recent 
kernels, especially if you have a decent RAID controller.
