I found this posting on the discussion list.  I have an old AIX RS 6000
machine that seems to have died recently, and I was wondering if I could
yank its drives and mount them using another OS.  

Linux apparently has JFS support, but from the posting below they are
incompatible.  Someone at work told me that OpenBSD or NetBSD should be able
to mount these filesystems.  I've also come across a FreeBSD JFS port on
sourceforge.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfs4bsd

Any idea if there is a way to access the old AIX JFS disks short of finding
another AIX machine?

Thanks for any responses.

No, JFS for AIX and Linux use different on-disk formats.  :^(
