   The Linux JFS was IIRC ported directly from the OS/2 JFS source code,   
   which IBM did originally release about 10 years ago.  It was on an IBM   
   site (AlphaWorks, I think) as was the LVM source; I think both have   
   disappeared from there now, though.   
      
   The modified eCS JFS has its source code released (in snapshots)    
   somewhat fitfully via FTP at ftp.netlabs.org/pub/openjfs (currently    
   it's a couple of releases out of date); if there's a more current   
   repository I'm not sure where it is.  The latest source should be    
   available on request, though.
