    Hallo Simon
    My experience is, that you will decrease your Performance using jfs2 together with 32-bit kernel.
    Since all our system run the 64-bit kernel we only use jfs2 for new filesystems, without any problems.

    Betreff: JFS2 - good or bad?

    I'm interested to know what people think of the new JFS2.
    I know that it increases the limits on file and filesystem size, but if one
    doesn't need this extra capacity are they worth using? I've seen vague
    claims of performance improvements: any truth in this?
    I'm not about to go changing my existing filesystems - far too much effort!
    - but I want to know whether to consider them for new installs, and for any
    new filesystems I create.
    I'd be particularly interested in any experience using them with Oracle
    tablespaces.

    I also have a couple of questions to which I couldn't find ready answers.
    Can a JFS2 and a JFS use the same log, or do you need a separate log for
    each type of filesystem?
    If you have an imbedded log in a JFS2, can you increase its size later, if
    necessary?
