I use JFS since I find that it's fast & stable too like Reiser. I tended to use a scattering of filesystems in the past so that I had experience of them all, but I'm gravitating towards JFS mostly now on my servers. I've done extensive speed testing using IOZone (http://www.iozone.org/) and for our systems, our drives, our application I just liked jfs. Not a lot between them all though apart from speed of file creation/deletion. thanks Trevor.
