Is Simon the only one experiencing these problems with ext3 on SuSE 9.1? I am used to using ext3 (I am using it now with SuSE 9.0) but I am not a real technical guy and therefore need something that works pretty much out of the box. Is ext3 then a "no go" with SusE Linux 9.1 Pro?
I've partitioned and formatted around 20 ext3 partitions so far with 9.1 and had no problems at all - except on an already dodgy drive.
Thank you, Dylan. Great to hear that SuSE 9.1 is not as buggy as one might get the impression of bu reading the many posting on the list. Do you have any idea what the claim of buggt ext3 support was al about. Was it just FUD or a man with a very special setup? May I ask you: Have you done NTFS resize on any of the 20 machines you set up sith SuSE 9.1? Janus -- Roskilde University, Denmark. Department of Technology and Social Science.

Well, we only tend to hear about the problems

No idea since he gave little info.

No, I havent - no MS machines around here at all. And it's 20 drives, not 20 machines (one box has eight drives!) Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet

Surely this must signal that some further investigative work has to be done? By saying that one box has 8 drives must mean (doesn't it?) that they are SCSI drives but the person with the problem is probably talking about IDE drive in which case the discussion is all about apples and oranges.

Nope - the box has 2 onboard IDE channels and a PCI IDE card giving a total 8 drives (no optical media on that box.) Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet
