Ok, someone else did recommend ReiserFS Is it a kernel patch needed to add reiserFS support, or just some other libraries/packages to add?

Not used JFS, but used reiserfs on x86 and ARMs for years and never lost a byte, no matter how roughly I treated them. ext3 is slow, probably due to being ext2 fs with some extra stuff on top, and it has happened that the underlying ext2 filesystem gets corrupted badly enough in a power failure that the journal can't be recovered, which rather defeats the whole point of it.
