I work with kernel 2.4.20 , lvm 1.0 and jfsutils 1.1.1. for 2 weeks and I had 3 or 4 problems with jfs filesystems. The problems basically happened
when I worked with office aplications (StarOffice) or copy files between jfs filesystems. The last problem was very serious becasuse
I've to push reset button to recuperate the system control and I lost one filsystem. In this last case, the root filesystem begins to report problems about jfs boundaries and
I press reset button. On reboot, there was one filesystem that jfs can't recuperate. This is my fsck.jfs output.

All my headaches began on Feb 8 13:09:48 and you can see them in my /var/log/messages (this is the attached file).
I'm worry about jfs stability because I'm evaluating journaling filesystems and I hear good things about it.
Any idea about my problems ??.
Thanks in advanced.
