17 I have tried both rw & ro since I had 2 different replies about this
18 problem - unfortunately both failed with the same error as before.

20 I use JFS since I find that it's fast & stable too like Reiser. I tended
21 to use a scattering of filesystems in the past so that I had experience
22 of them all, but I'm gravitating towards JFS mostly now on my servers.
23 I've done extensive speed testing using IOZone (http://www.iozone.org/)
24 and for our systems, our drives, our application I just liked jfs. Not a
25 lot between them all though apart from speed of file creation/deletion.
