JFS problem

Bugger.
Symptoms: All the partiions are getting mounted as read only and not going back to read-write

What I have done sofar-
Seached on google and wiki for the error message.
nano /var/syslog..varlog bootlog and dmesg for helpful mesages and no dice.
I have read other help docs and I think I may not have configured something correctly (possible fstab).
Do I need to re-do my install again, or am I just missing something important?

ED: after looking furtherinto this issue-and apparently thier is some discution about using JFS for linux. Acording to jfs.source discusions this is  be a fairly recenct issue for people that use jfs.

I also found a related thread on linuxforums in case anyone is intersted:

Re: JFS problem

I had this happen once when using JFS and not having jfsutils installed on first bootup. I forgot to install them before rebooting and after that it would never allow me to mount them RW again, even after installing jfsutils and checking the partitions. This is why I quit using JFS and starting using reiser and XFS. I've alway tried ext3 but it seems to be slower than the other options, I've tried dir_index, but it don't make the huge difference here that some people claim.

Re: JFS problem

What's your experience with xfs? I

As far as tuning ext3 - I wonder how much that is hardware related, and how much that is the nature of how ext3 is designed.

Re: JFS problem

So far, so good. I'm using it for a ~140GB partition full of GIS data and it's pretty fast for large files. I've only been using it a week tho.
