I am using jfs as my root filesystem from feisty (now on jaunty), and I have not got much issues with the filesystem itself. I DO think this IS NOT an issue with kernel or jfs driver. This seems much related to userspace jfsutils AND/OR initscripts.
First: jfs mount option are very limited, and practically are always defaults in fstab. I have experience once of a system where they have put noatime options which is not allowed by jfs, resulting in a mount failure each reboot. Second: on Jaunty (not experienced on Feisty, Gutsy, Hardy or Intrepid) the jfs filesystem at boot needs ALWAYS to replay log, so what I think is that umount does not flush journal to disk. jfs MUST be checked for me at boot. On my laptop I had to disable check for battery power and enable fsck by default regardless of battery. -- JFS is flakey https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
