Fear of JFS2

I've always been afraid of JFS2. Early on, JFS2 had a series of nasty
APARs with terms like "data corruption" and "lost data" and
"inconsistencies" in the descriptions. Some years ago, my site actually
experienced data corruption on a JFS2 filesystem, which confirmed my
fears. (We had to create files larger than 64G on that filesystem, so we
had to use JFS2.)

But that was then and this is now. I don't recall seeing any serious JFS2
APARs recently. What's the feeling out there? Are people using JFS2?
Successfully? Do you lay awake nights worrying about the data that you
have on JFS2?

Thanks for your thoughts,
anker
