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. I believe it was dropped for technical reasons, though I don't know what

Had it been political or licensing reasons it would have slightly more acceptable, but if it's just a _technical_ reason ... especially when SuSE has had JFS support since 7.3.
Or more correctly, if SuSE said what those reasons are, such as under certain circumstances, you'll lose all your data and cause your computer to revert back to a 4.77 MHz XT. ;-) I don't have a problem with it being pulled for technical reasons. It would just be nice to know what reasons.
