According to the release notes, a JFS data partition is -- for all practical purposes -- required for OO 2.x. I like Open Office, but for the time being I find no pressing reason to advance beyond v. 115. On the Dark Side, I don't recall OO 2.x asking for JFS . . . but I could be wrong.

Yup. Several. FAT-32 storage ones as well.
