Any feedback from folks about jfs? This is apparently fast at
everything (at least as fast as xfs - no flame please!). So I assume
it won't be a performance bottleneck - but what I want to know is
whether it's stable and worth giving a run instead of xfs? My system
lock ups are driving me insane and I'm wondering whether xfs could be
the culprit.
