I've been using jfs for years both at work and home, and only had fs
corruption once so far, when my home server was reset by accident
(caused my 8GB /var to go weird - had to mount it read-only to get the
files off). The largest jfs volume I have is 17TB, and that never had
any problems.

Note that I noticed a performance problem with jfs and very large
files (128GB and above) - if the filesystem is *not* fragmented,
extending large files can become very slow (2-3MB/s write instead of
200+MB/s), with high CPU usage in jfsCommit. Keep this in mind if you
plan to store such files on the filesystem.
