IBM is open sourcing its Journaled File System (JFS) Technology for
Linux. For details see:

  http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jfs/index.html 

This page reads, in part:

  Journaled File System Technology for Linux

  IBM's journaled file system technology, currently used in IBM
  enterprise servers, is designed for high-throughput server
  environments, key to running intranet and other high-performance
  e-business file servers. IBM is contributing this technology to the
  Linux open source community with the hope that some or all of it
  will be useful in bringing the best of journaling capabilities to
  the Linux operating system. Work is currently underway to complete
  the port of this technology to Linux. 

One WarpCast reader, Aaron Williams (aaronw@home.com), has downloaded
a copy of the code and reports that it, "includes the OS/2 support."
