Subject: [gentoo-mips] JFS on non-intel [ Was O2 Sound and Misc Stuff]

I'm interested in your data point.  Do you happen to remember about which 
kernel that was?  There was some general badness that affected multiple 
file systems in late 2.6.13 on into 2.6.14 or so in the way that you 
describe.  Not sure they ever really knew what the smoking gun was.

Used JFS for about 6 months with the gentoo mips 2.6.13 kernel and did 
not find any issues.  Briefly with Sparc32, but don't remember 
which kernel.  On Intel, I've done extensive regressions with it.

If anyone is interested, I have a thrasher script written specifically for 
this purpose.  It's a multi-threaded ruby script that creates a randomized 
directory tree, with random files, containing random data.  A CRC check is 
kept on each file.  The threads run in parallel rewriting data in the 
middle of files, truncating, resizing, creating voids, forcing the file 
system into writing multiple extents, exercising tail packing, unlinking 
files with open handles, etc...
