My two regular old computers have a partition with Slackware installed, |
| 4 |
one from 2005 and the other 2006. Both are JFS and have not been killed |
| 5 |
by power outages or hard resets. I see JFS as "reliable," more so than |
| 6 |
EXT3. Once I figured out that aboot didn't care my root partition was |
| 7 |
JFS, I was happy. The BSD disklabel has enough slices to squander one |
| 8 |
for a boot partition. |

I don't think JFS wins any particular performance category, but I think |
| 10 |
it's regarded as good all around. I'll put a couple subjective reasons |
| 11 |
at the end. |

Can you point me in the direction of where to file such a bug report? |

I figured the alpha developer list is really small and whoever makes the |
| 17 |
alpha install CD image would be on this mailing list. I'll download the |
| 18 |
latest install image and check first. If jfs is still lacking, I'll try |
| 19 |
reporting a bug. |

Subjective reasons: |
| 22 |
JFS came from IBM. They probably had some quality people developing JFS |
| 23 |
for IBM products. |
| 24 |
Hans Reiser is a convicted murderer. I don't want ReiserFS on my |
| 25 |
computer. |
| 26 |
I had a small amount of stock in SGI. They went bankrupt and cost me |
| 27 |
money. So, by association, I hate SGI->Irix->XFS. Who needs XFS? |
| 28 |
The Gentoo alpha install CD has utils for ReiserFS and XFS. Seems |
| 29 |
strange to neglect JFS. |

Thanks for the reply. |
