You apparently make several small backups into different files, yes?

No. I didn't switch to LVM because I add drives haphazardly -- they
have different speeds and LVM doesn't have a nice simple way to
allocate, say, only "fast" drive space to a partition letter. You have
to keep track of it manually. It's a very minor point but I didn't feel
like adding one more sticky note to the side of my monitor. :)))

As for JFS, the early version had a few kinks which have probably been
worked out by now.

I haven't seen much complaining; probably you just make the switch and
you're happy.
