It's an acronym of Journaled File System.  It was written by IBM and has been in Linux since 2002.

Could you catch me up on what "jfs" is?

Morning,

I just built a new computer and thought i'd give guix a go but after finally getting everything working to the install stage ... I hit a personal showstopper - no jfs support whatsoever. It's mostly an afterthought on every other distribution but this was a surprise.

Any reason for this or is it just that nobody thought of it?

Anyway, I just ended up installing slackware-current and have then installed guix atop that, to grab a few packages and to get more familiar with it.  I would probably have had to do that anyway as it was probably too much to learn at once but I currently have a lot of spare time to fill, so tried guix first.

Regards,
