From what I've read (but don't remember where exactly it was), IBM is planning to make the sources for the OS/2 file system available for the public and is porting it to Linux. Unfortunately, I don't know what is included in this code and how much from JFS (the AIX Journaled File System) is inside of it. I found it to be a totally new experience to enlarge partitions or change volume groups and more more or less on the fly on a running machine :-) (You can even plug-in another SCSI disk, add and configure it and - use it, without reboot. That Logical Volume Manager _is_ nice!) From what I heard, such functionality is currently in development for Linux - anybody who can tell more?
