Hey guys,
I used JFS in Gentoo Linux about a year ago. I found it to be very
unstable -- I canceled a large network transfer and it borked the
filesystem... twice. Hopefully you will have better luck, but be sure to
do extensive testing before you store data on the drive. EXT3 or Reiserfs
may be better choices.
As far as distros go I would suggest Gentoo... of course ;)

http://gentoo-wiki.com (another great source of information)
If you don't feel comfortable with a command line, and a cryptic install
process I would forget it. Most distros will have support for your
hardware so you'll have a lot of options.
Come to our meeting tomorrow (7/14): 6:00pm at UNR. We can discuss your
installation as a mini-topic ;)

I'll jump into the middle of this with some background. I'm the one that suggested Mike
post here. I'm running a dual EM64T Xeon with an Intel 82801EB (ICH5) SATA controller,
running 2.6.11.x and I get OOM conditions when I hammer the drives. It might be a 64bit
kernel issue. I've not tried booting a 32bit kernel. It might just be that SATA in
"new"
I think most everything Mike needs will be included in just about any 2.6 based
distro, but we both share SATA concerns.

BTW, I think you can grab the JFS source at IBM websites.

It was suggested that I ask my question in this forum, to which I am a
newcomer....
What current port would you folks suggest for a 3.0GHZ P4 w/hyperthread and
SATA? Is there one out there that has JFS? I expect to support inet functions
(proxy/dns/etc) and some ham radio functions to start.
I've been away from 'hands on' use in the xNIX world for about 4 years, and
want to jump back in. My experience is mostly AIX, but some hpux, solaris, red
hat, mandrake...
Hope this generates less than a 'throw a rock in a pack of dogs' response... it
is meant to be innocent, and genuine.
Thanks,
Mike G
