Sorry, but you are "technically" wrong.  NSS is a 64bit Journaling file
system.

See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell_Storage_Services

The Journalling question at hand, however, is not the file system based
Journaling, as in ext3, or JFS2, or ReiserFS, but TSM client's
Journaling services.  Which has nothing to do with the file system's
abilities.

I have never had the need to use JBB on NetWare, but I've done some
searches on Google and found some references.  However, the real
question is, do they have a NetWare client that is 5.4 or newer?  As
that would be where it's supported.
