RE: [SLE] JFS in SuSE9.3?

Does anyone know what happened to support for installation on JFS drives in SuSE 9.3? We use only JFS here, so finding out that 9.3 does 1) not support creating JFS filesystems during install and 2) the kernel does not have boot-time support for JFS was a little depressing.
Hi, The release notes of Suse 9.3, states that "Due to technical problems with JFS it is not supported anymore. The kernel file system driver is still there, but YaST will not offer partitioning with JFS." Good luck...

Yikes! I wonder what the problems they had with it are. -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants! Jon Nelson <jnelson-suse@jamponi.net>

Me too. I tried installing on a JFS root partition using this work-around: use rescue system to format partitions install 9.3, use rescue system to rebuild kernel with JFS support reboot. This works fine, except I ended up with exactly the same JFS problem on two completely different systems. I've put up a question on the JFS list. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Sign up for your free 30-day trial now!

What problem did you experience?
Apologies, I should have added that. The install goes fine, right up until the first boot. At some point I see a stream of 10-15 "ERROR: (device hd(3,3)): XT_GETPAGE: xtree page corrupt", which turns the file-system read-only. I fscked it, remounted it - worked quite well, until the next reboot. Same problem again. I also tried the latest kernel (2.6.12.2 I think it was), no effect. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
