I'm not actually seeing the problem in practice. I have JFS only on a test partition
and not on root yet.
It was more a theoretical question for my understanding. I was wondering why JFS
didn't do the log replay in an initrd first and how you can safely
access a filesystem that hasn't got its root applied yet.

Ok. I see. My question was born because I was wondering
why (1) is not required for the JFS root setup.
It would seem to me that it would be more safe to do it this way than to hope that the
file system is
not too damaged to find fsck and logredo.
Is it planned to implement (2) or recommend (1) in
future versions of JFS?
Is it possible to run logredo without fsck.jfs to save space in the initrd image?
Thanks for your comments and thanks for a good fs.
