I am curious about people's experiences with JFS as well.  It has a long 
and excellent history on AIX, but it still seems a bit to new on Linux 
for my comfort.

I also have had a nasty experience with Reiserfs -- no data loss or 
corruption but processes would freeze and the only way to kill the 
processes was with a reboot -- moving to ext3 resolved that.  Also no 
dump/restore -- don't like that...

My personal prefference is for ext3 and XFS.  I couldn't use XFS at work 
because our network backup system (IBM's TSM) didn't like XFS.  But at 
home I have been using XFS on a couple production servers (Web, Mail, 
SQL, NFS) with great results -- and was able to recover from the loss of 
a hard drive from a restore.
