JFS has been getting ever more irrelevant over the last years as it and we 
already provide a number of more actively supported, more widely adopted, 
and better tested file systems.  So, if anything, there should be a huge 
disclaimer as not to bother and file any reports should the use of JFS eat 
your data, burn your house and crash your machine.

My own recommendation these days is ext3 for system partitions and XFS
for your data.

Going forward ext4 and others promise potential and I'd much prefer us
to look into those rather than beating a dead horse.

(Sorry for being blunt, but we have a wide array of input from a large 
number of users and there is a reason why JFS is deprecated with current 
versions of SLES.)
