We have just replaced our Raid controller with a new one, expecting
the errors to subside, but they keep coming:

Jul  9 02:48:57 boston kernel: find_entry called with index = 0
Jul  9 04:02:22 boston kernel: find_entry called with index = 0

We did a full fsck after the installation of the new raid controller,
and we now believe our problems are JFS related. I guess JFS just
isn't NFS friendly enough yet (as written in the FAQ. Should we switch 
filesystem or could we perform additional tests?

The above log entries are usually followed up by numerous other JFS
errors after a while and then the server crashes (after at most 5-7
days with the newest JFS/kernel release).
