JFS support is in 9.3, it's just not available in the installer. But all the jfsutils are included.
Well, that's not the complete truth. Not only is it not supported during install, but it also cannot boot from JFS. (no JFS module in the initrd). Getting a 9.3 system to work on JFS is a little complicated to say the least. Anyway, I got the answer from Dave Kleikamp just a little while ago:
The problem is triggered by the /etc/init.d/earlykdm script. It runs the preload command against a list of files that includes directories, and the directories caused jfs to get confused, and think there was file corruption.
Workaround is to disable the earlykdm script, or at least the lines that run preload.
He included a patch in this posting - see the jfs mailing list for details. He also says he missed the cut-off for 9.3 - the updates are clearly ready for 10.0, but I think someone already confirmed that 10.0 will not have the JFS installation support either. Pity. /Per Jessen, Zürich
