Summary0001312: Please add jfs support to Rocky kernel
DescriptionI have Rocky 8.5 installed in a partition formatted with ext4 but I have some other partitions in my system that are formatted with jfs. It would be helpful to be able to access data on these partitions. I understand that there was a kmod-jfs for el6 and el7 but there doesn't appear to be one for el8. Most Linux distributions support jfs.

Will you be adding the associated jfsutils?

FWIW, Fedora has numerous builds available.

Looks like the last source version released is 1.1.15 (year 2011). Will build this for el8.

I installed kmod-jfs and jfsutils and now I can access my jfs formatted partitions from Rocky. I tried the mkfs.jfs and fsck.jfs utilities and they work as expected. Thanks for the quick resolution.
