*laughs heartily*

You've never ported software, eh? :)

The Linux driver can be considered a whole new animal with its own set
of "features" (bugs).  IBM is still working on it quite a bit.  Give
it a year or two.

The CPU load is negligble.  If it isn't in your application, then you
shouldn't be using a NetWinder for it.  JFS will probably be no better
in this category.

I really suggest ext3 instead of doing anything "exotic" though.  I
suspect results will be about the same.
