JFS Filesystems?

[Nick Bargnesi]

Hey guys,
    I've got some high-end Athlon 64 workstations that I'd like to
use JFS exclusively on.  These machines have 8 hard drives in them six
of which are on SATA channels.  Attempting to install FC3 by booting
with "linux jfs" results in my being able to format drives using JFS.
However, after the package selection when it goes to install chkconfig
(second rpm I believe?), it fails with a complaint about installing
chkconfig due to a disc or hard drive error, or bad media, etc.  I get
the sense this is directly related to the JFS configuration though, if
I attempt to do the identical setup on ext3 partitions, everything
works flawlessly.
    I was however able to install FC3 on these machines using a root
partition of ext3 and jfs partitions not directly related to the FC3
directory structure, i.e., /opt, and some backup mount points.  I've
read about trying "linux jfs selinux=0" as jfs won't mingle with
selinux, which I haven't done yet.  Curious to see if anyone else is
using non-ext filesystems and experienced/gotten past this.  Or to
smack me upside the head and say selinux=0 should do it...
Regards,
Nick Bargnesi
