This is fine, until the overly aggressive Win CHKDSK decides it needs to "fix" your HPFS partition(s).

I'm wondering how many others replicate your mileage with JFS . . . because I'm still thinking of trying it, but only thinking about it. OO 2.x for our platform seems to require it, as a practical matter. That's the one place where I can envision a clear need. HPFS has not been fragile here. Can't recall a situation where it has failed, absent some much more serious and widespread issue involving all or most of the HDD.
