JBOD

JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) - see spanned volume.

JFS

JFS (Journaled File System) - 64-bit journaling filesystem designed by IBM.

Journal replay

Journal replay - the process of re-doing operations marked as unfinished in a filesystem log file to restore a filesystem consistency. Journal replay is performed every time the filesystem is mounted in journaling filesystems, such as NTFS or ext.

Journaling filesystem

Journaling filesystem - the filesystem which uses a journal (also called log file or intention log) to track a list of scheduled and completed operations. Journaling allows maintaining filesystem integrity without time-consuming integrity checks.

Jumper

Jumper - a small clip used to specify a mode of device operation by shorting or breaking some specific circuit. Jumpers are often grouped into blocks to allow selecting one of the operating modes. Jumpers are typically used to:

  1. reset the BIOS settings,
  2. force hard drives to report smaller than the actual capacity to the host system for compatibility reasons (so called capacity clipping),
  3. switch hard drives using SATA II to SATA I to provide compatibility with SATA I controllers,
  4. select Master/Slave mode on the Parallel ATA (IDE) disks.
