Hi Lukas

to be perfectly honest, none of that helps.  The File System Support FAQ
has exactly one mention of "JFS", and it says _nothing_ about why JFS
has been deprecated with current versions of SLES.

As for SLES and openSUSE sharing a base, that is well known. Given that
openSUSE has sufficient (not full) support for JFS at the moment, 
perhaps we'll see it move into SLES as well.

I'll quote from the JFS section:

"[JFS] has been shown to provide excellent overall performance across a
variety of workloads."

Doesn't sound like much of a reason for deprecating it?
