XFS has had FSCK problems in the past. I think that JFS is as good as dead.

JFS seems mostly to have been regarded as a compatibility option for IBM systems anyway.

Even before Hans was arrested there were some issues with ReiserFS such as the fact that hostile data written to a file by a user could cause a corruption at FSCK time. If you use ReiserFS for any server that allows binary data to be stored by a user then you risk security problems.

And SUSE used it as the default file system for a while, but I would be very surprised if that's still so.
