I had installed kmod-jfs in an earlier version of CentOS 7, 7.4 if I remember correctly. I now have a machine running the latest version of jfs module but kmod-jfs does not seem to be available.
Is anyone running it on the current version of CentOS?

My suggestion is to use the centosplus kernel (kernel-plus) instead. jfs is enabled in this kernel.

Would I simply install it by using yum? Are there any downsides to installing this kernel vs. relying on the standard kernel?

To install the kernel-plus:
# yum --enablerepo=centosplus install kernel-plus
Boot into the just installed kernel-plus and check to see if jfs is working as expected. If all is fine, change the default kernel to kernel-plus:
# yum-config-manager --setopt=centosplus.includepkgs=kernel-plus --enablerepo=centosplus --save # sed -e 's/^DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel$/DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-plus/' -i /etc/sysconfig/kernel
I would not say there is any downside, but I'm highly biased. ;)

Thank you!
I would second the opinion of Akemi .. I would have no issues using the CentOS-Plus kernel in production. It has a very good history (and maintainer .. Akemi) :)
