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. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on. -- New Theory of Relativity ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
