Could you guys tell me your thoughts in using JFS2.Is it reliable yet?Have you guys seen or heard of any problems. We are running 5.2 ML0.

Thanks
 
If you would go to the IBM fix distribution center ( go through the motions of downloading ML02 for a 5.2.0.0 system, and look at the information for what you are about to download, you will see that there are quite a few PTFs (27 or 28, I think) fixing problems, both large and small, with JFS2. (Some problems include corrupted filesystem, hung filesystem, etc. Others aren't quite that bad.)

That isn't necessarily bad -- problems have been found and IBM is fixing them. And it is new with version 5.x, so you would expect some problems.

I would advise getting to maintenance level 02. In addition, it appears there also have been more individual fixes for JFS2 problems (not rolled into a Maintenance Level package) since ML02. So you might want to check out individual filesets.
