Here is another round-about way to make a JFS partition on an USB drive. With this method, I am using the whole drive for the JFS.
Open DFSee.
Select Scripts in the menu
Select Make Fat32 Data USB disk
Select the drive and make a fat32 data disk.
Follow the prompts.
Eject USB drive and reinsert.
Now I use FM/2
Open FM/2
Right click on the FAT32 USB drive
Select Miscellaneous
Select Format Disk
Select JFS
I do the quick format.
Done.
I bought around 10 packages of 3- 32 GB USB drives at Target last year for around $5.00 for each package. It was an after school clearance. Formatted them With DFsee to FAT32. Thus, it was easy for me to format JFS under FM/2 when I want. I had already made them FAT32 with DFSee. The drives were originally FAT32 when bought. However, for ArcaOS to use the drives, DFSee had to be used to reformat them Fat32. Being already done, it took little time to convert to JFS.
It would be nice for DFSee to have a script to make a JFS data disk.
