JFS is lovely for a number of reasons, the main being stability, very decent all-round performance and extremely low CPU-usage. The main downsides are no shrinking possibility (at least in the non-AIX incarnations) and practically a single part-time developer. So recently I've been pretty much mainstream with ext4 – not extremely stable yet in my experience, but lacking some annoyances of ext3 (like very io-intensive deletion of big files and sensible fsck times). -- [a]
