I think you are mixing up LVM and JFS here.

As far as I know, Linux uses a different volume manager, also called "LVM"
and
the JFS implementation is nearly identical to the (OS/2) IBM implementation.

I think it is true that that Linux JFS does not support extended attributes.
(since Linux would not know what to do with them anyway)

Linux LVM is a subset of OS/2 LVM.  More specifically, it does not

support extended attributes.

I have NO fear at all for LVM and I love it and used with a lot of
pleasure...

The "fear" comes from some persons on other mailinglist that are talking
ONLY on how they can down nail LVM/JFS and Big Blue and allso driven
people away from OS/2, inspider of what they are telling... :-)
