We really cannot support and handle all filesystems that are available. Offering it in YaST would make them supportable. It did not work at all with 9.3 and we fighted hard for a couple of weeks before giving up - JFS is not one of the major filesystems and seems not to get much testing from others.
let me say (I read this thread now for a moment) that there are two different problems:
* will it be possible to keep using a 9.2 JFS system with newer SUSE distro?
Should be possible (provided it has been fixed upstream), but it will not be easy and since nobody has tested it, you may still lose your data.
* why is not the jfs file system supported.
Due to bugs. See for example http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7815522&forum_id=43911 Regards Carl-Daniel
