A couple of questions
1. Is there any way to have a Encrypted FS's under SuSE 6.4 ? and with witch program ? and how ?
Yes, it should be possible via a loopback filesystem. IIRC, there is a special HOWTO on how to do it. I don't know, if the required encryption software ships with the distribution - I doubt it.
2. How secure is to use the Reiser FS (I mean stable and secure) ? and if is there any way to do a non-destructive resize of an existent Reiser Partition ?
ReiserFS is pretty mature already - we use it on our development servers (in combination with LVM) for quite a while: [grimmer@Hilbert grimmer]$ df -h /work Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/wrk/wrk 240G 138G 102G 57% /work [grimmer@Hilbert grimmer]$ mount | grep work /dev/wrk/wrk on /work type reiserfs (rw) SourceForge, too, is using ReiserFS on large RAID-Arrays. It is as "secure" as other file systems regarding encryption - there is none. And yes, it is possible to resize existent file systems. Enlarging it can be done "on the fly" whithout unmounting, shrinking can only be done in "offline mode" (unmounted).
Can I use Reiser on a I2O RAID 5 ?
I do not see a problem with that. If you can use any other file system, ReiserFS will do fine as well.
