JFS: The syntax for a lot of things is very close to that of ReiserFS, ext3, and ext4 filesystems. However, before just inserting "jfs" into the common/rc case switches, test results need to be audited for JFS. Additionally, I don't know if the current tests use external journals for non-XFS filesystems: My first attempt stepped all over the XFS journal creation script, looked messy, and was probably buggy as well. NILFS2: fsstress/fsx seems to slowly rip NILFS2 to bits, and I have to come up with a narrower test and report bugs to those guys. common/rc could be revised to better target filesystems with no fsck whatsoever, such as NILFS2 and F2FS. I've been getting by with a simple `ln -s /bin/true /sbin/fsck.nilfs2`, and really, that is the best long-term solution from an administrative standpoint. So you see how this might be an easy fix but still take up hours in debugging... Thanks again!
