I find that ext2fs doesn't work any more because suse, like most (all?) other distributions has gone to 256-byte inodes rather than the original 128-byte inodes...
256 byte is only a default. All my Linux partitions have 128 byte, including 11.3s, 11.4s & Rawhides. Most of mine also have 1024 byte block size, rather than the 4096 current default, but most are 5G or less, where excessive cluster overhang waste is poorly tolerated.
Well, since I don't have gparted up in front of me, tell us how to change the default to 128-byte inodes. I assume that's the program, or is it something else? Or is there a good reason _not_ to do that? (So far, my old disk drives don't give me any trouble. I put a 1 TB drive in my W7 machine a few months ago and it didn't complain--the drive or the Windows. I put a 260 KB 2-1/2" drive in the laptop last August, and Linux and XP are happy with that, whatever format the drive is.) --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.
