I think this will help:
Code:
mkfs -m <raw_device>

You have to be root to do this (mostly - depends on device permissions).

NAME
mkfs.jfs - create a JFS formatted partition SYNOPSIS
mkfs.jfs [options] device DESCRIPTION
mkfs.jfs is used to create (format) a JFS partition. mkfs.jfs must be run as root. device is the special file name corresponding to the actual device (e.g. /dev/hdb1) on which a JFS file system will be created. The default block size is 4096. WARNING
mkfs.jfs will destroy all data on the specified device! OPTIONS
-c Check the device for bad blocks before building the file system. -L volume_label Set the volume label for the file system. -O Provide case-insensitive support for compatibility with OS/2. -q Quiet execution - do not ask for confirmation before creating the file system. -s log_size Set the log size (in megabytes). If the -s option is not used, the default log size is 0.4% of the aggregate size. -V Print version information and exit (regardless of any other chosen options). EXAMPLES
Format 3rd partition on 2nd hard disk with the volume label "JFS_hdb3": mkfs.jfs -L JFS_hdb3 /dev/hdb3 Format 5th partition on 1st hard disk, verifying each block created: mkfs.jfs -c /dev/hda5 REPORTING BUGS
