Actually, yes, you can run JFS2 filesystems on the 32-bit kernel, but
IBM strongly discourages it. On previous installations, we experienced
a significant number of system instability and filesystem corruption
problems with JFS2 on AIX 5.1 ML2 with the 32-bit kernel.
Unfortunately, we were driven to our 32-bit/JFS2 decision due to the
availability of Oracle 8i for 64-bit as well as our desire to have some
of the performance enhancements introduced by JFS2, namely a direct-I/O
mount option.
IBM addressed all of the problems in 5.1 ML3, but they still maintain
that JFS2 was designed and optimized for the 64-bit kernel.
Your mileage will vary.
HTH,
James Jackson

Subject: Re: AIX 5.1 / 64-bit Kernel / No JFS2
As a follow up to this question, is it possible to run JFS2, with the
32bit kernel?
I assume no.
Also, is there a FAQ of what 64bit apps will not run under AIX5.1 64bit
kernel? I'm getting this error when trying to install Sybase v12.0 64bit
under AIX5.1 with the 64bit kernel.
The most common faq/-answer: 64 bit applications compiled on 4.x must be
recompiled for 5.x
Or: A 64bit app either runs on 4.x or 5.x
