1	IBM's Journaled File System (JFS) for Linux
2	
3	JFS Homepage:  http://jfs.sourceforge.net/
4	
5	The following mount options are supported:
6	
7	iocharset=name	Character set to use for converting from Unicode to
8			ASCII.  The default is to do no conversion.  Use
9			iocharset=utf8 for UTF-8 translations.  This requires
10			CONFIG_NLS_UTF8 to be set in the kernel .config file.
11			iocharset=none specifies the default behavior explicitly.
12	
13	resize=value	Resize the volume to <value> blocks.  JFS only supports
14			growing a volume, not shrinking it.  This option is only
15			valid during a remount, when the volume is mounted
16			read-write.  The resize keyword with no value will grow
17			the volume to the full size of the partition.
18	
19	nointegrity	Do not write to the journal.  The primary use of this option
20			is to allow for higher performance when restoring a volume
21			from backup media.  The integrity of the volume is not
22			guaranteed if the system abnormally abends.
23	
24	integrity	Default.  Commit metadata changes to the journal.  Use this
25			option to remount a volume where the nointegrity option was
26			previously specified in order to restore normal behavior.
27	
28	errors=continue		Keep going on a filesystem error.
29	errors=remount-ro	Default. Remount the filesystem read-only on an error.
30	errors=panic		Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs.
31	
32	uid=value	Override on-disk uid with specified value
33	gid=value	Override on-disk gid with specified value
34	umask=value	Override on-disk umask with specified octal value.  For
35			directories, the execute bit will be set if the corresponding
36			read bit is set.
37	
38	Please send bugs, comments, cards and letters to shaggy[AT]linux.vnet.ibm.com[DOT]
