Problems browsing the www.....
I am running two laptops (W2K & SuSE) connected to a network (NT) using dynamic IP's through DHCP. Both of them were working fine for a couple of days until I started messing up to configure my Kmail. Since then I can get connected internally (web server and intranet) but now I can just browse the www from the W2K laptop. If I try to ping something from linux (like www.dell.com) I get packages transmision with no error but Im not able to browse www. I'm not sure if they change something on the network that it is blocking me the access (I have nothing to do with the network admin, as a matter of fact Im just and end user, so Im far from them) or if I changed something on my puter that it is not allowing me to browse. What should I check? The strange thing is that I am pingin everywhere but not even the netscape or the konkeror are allowing me to have fun in the cyberspace. Thnx!!!!!!! ===== Ricardo A.

Hi, Is it possible to increase partitions using yast whilst in linux and not losing any data ? SuSE7.2 Reason... I am running out of space on '/' but I could reduce the space on '/var' to cover this, is it possible in yast. Regards Matt

No. You need to back up all data from the partition and then re-create it. -Kastus

Hi, Oh... how old hat. Would partition magic work, I know it does in Windoz. Regards Matt "Konstantin (Kastus) Shchuka" wrote:

If you're running ReiserFS on / you can increase the partition without data loss. In fact, you don't even have to unmount it :) Don't know if it's possible in yast, though look at resize_reiserfs Regards Anders On Thursday 28 June 2001 16:02, Matt wrote:

Hi, Perhaps its worth re-installing an using a ReiserFS file system. What are the pros and cons for ReiserFS over ext2 ? Regards Matt Anders Johansson wrote:

reiserfs is significantly faster than ext2, according to the benchmarks I've seen. And since it's a journalling file system, it's more reliable in case of crashes. It's also capable of using disk blocks for more than one file, so if you have many small files, you'll see less disk waste. The only real disadvantage I can see for reiserfs is that it's still relatively new, so it's not quite as well tested as ext2. Also, as of 7.1 there's no dump for reiserfs, but that may have changed in 7.2 Regards Anders On Thursday 28 June 2001 16:37, Matt wrote:

Hi Anders, I don't think there will be a dump for reiserfs in 7.2. In an email from Hans Reiser, he indicated that GNU tar can do everything that dump can do. So, if we are ever to see a reiserfs dump it will have to come from some other open-source project. I checked the docos for GNU tar and indeed, it's much better than the other tars I've worked with. They have example scripts to mimic dump's behavior. Does anyone out there have tar running as a full dump replacement? Regards, Lew Wolfgang On Thu, 28 Jun 2001, Anders Johansson wrote:

ReiserFS is not very fast if you have very large files. But I think it is not a problem for the common user, BTW. Tazio

Indeed. Using a 2GB Vmware image, ReiserFS is much slower than XFS, when, for example, suspending to disk. On the other hand, it's quite a bit faster when doing stuff with lots of small files, like compiling large projects. The search for the perfect filesystem goes on. (I notice IBM have just released JFS-1.0. I wonder how that stacks up?)

No, this is not possible with YaST. It depends on the file system you are using - ReiserFS and ext2 can be dynamically resized (ReiserFS can even be enlarged "on the fly" - shrinking does work in offline-mode only). Resizing raw partitions is not recommended anyway - this is what the Logical Volume Manager LVM is for.

No, definetely not with YaST. But maybe you can work around your space problem by moving a complete directory tree from / to /var and create a symbolic link from the old to the new location?

I think that Lenz's suggestion is the easiest. I had a similar problem and I just moved /opt to /usr/opt and (symbolic) linked it to /opt... I gained +400Mb on / Hope it helps, Alvaro Novo SuSE 7.1 -=- Kernel 2.4.2-4GB -=- KDE 2.1.1 10:55am up 2 days, 20:13, 5 users, load average: 1.07, 1.10, 1.04
