Yea, it is my fault as I **ASSUMED** that SuSE would default to reiserfs. I know that I cannot just change my fs on the fly to reiser without deleting all of my files. I know that ext3 can do this without deleting the files on my drive. I just need to know if ext3 is compiled in to the 2.4.16upgrade kernel or is it a module. And, if so, do I need any extra programs to do the converting? Thanks!

I tried 7.3 once. During installation you need the option expert partitioning i beleive. There you can define mount points for your partitions and select the fs. I beleive you can also convert ext2 to ext3 as it only adds a jfs to it.

If I remember correctly, mine WAS 'preset' to reiser when I installed 7.3. I changed it to ext3 for / during the install, and it worked flawlessly. I have installed the 2.4.16 kernel, and it is a module. You need to add "jbd" and "ext3" to the INITRD_MODULES line in rc.config, and run mk_initrd (as root) and lilo. There are a couple of other things I remember reading about when changing it after the fact, but I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable ones will fill in the gaps. ;-) (like fstab changes, and tunefs? or something like that to make the journal file).
