I've gotten a lot of good information about JFS from the IBM site and from archives of this list - thanks! I'm finally posting to solicit feedback on my recently-published book on "Linux Filesystems" (SAMS, ISBN 0672322722). This book discusses the use, theory, installation, and integration of journaling and distributed filesystems on Linux, and also discusses what I call 'filesystem adapters' - things like Samba, the NCP tools, and netatalk, which graft together existing filesystems from multiple platforms. The book talks about the JFS, Ext3, ReiserFS, and XFS journaling filesystems (overview, patching the kernel, administering, using, etc.). It also talks about OpenAFS and NFS.I also provide some benchmark results (Bonnie, Postmark, etc.) to give some empirical performance comparisons.
This isn't purely a promotional posting - I'd sincerely appreciate feedback and suggestions if you know anyone who is trying to use one of these filesystems and needs a how-to book and a reference. This list is great for people who are already in the know, but I'm hoping that a usable book on the subject will help popularize the use of filesystems such as these, as well as Linux itself. Thanks!
