We're migrating a server to ASE 12.5.1 on a new Sun box,
running Solaris 9. We're tempted to create the ASE database
devices in a Journaled File System (on Logical Volume Manager
"TransMeta" devices).

Is anyone successfully running with their databases on JFS?
Anyone have a compelling argument against such a plan?

Sybase Tech Support's response was (I think) a bit short of
a whole-hearted endorsement:

"Sybase doesn't have certification with JFS,
you should check with the vendor for the
JFS to see if they certify against Sybase.
What I can tell you is that we do have
customers successfully use ASE with JFS."

Which I interpret as,
<paraphrase>
It will probably work, but we don't guarantee it.
</paraphrase>

Is that a fair characterization?
