I do not understand why you flame me. I am posting this to the list, because you piss me off. I simply stated that a lot of us need to use MS Windows, for various reasons, and that there is a program that will let one read the Linux ext2 FS from their Windows program. It does not need Samba, or any kind of network protocol. Samba would not help if I were trying to access a Linux fs on my (same) Windows system computer. I DO NOT NEED A NASTY FLAME FOR A SIMPLE, REASONABLE COMMENT! Please filter me out in your mail program, so will not have to deal with my simple reasonable comments again. --doug At 22:39 01/02/2002 -0800, you wrote:
What kind of post is this? Something to just provoke people??? Sure, go and use ext3, it is the 1st release and if you want to be the one to flush out bugs, please put your files on that FS and let us all know what happens. As to the "benefit" of accessing the Linux file system it is totally possible to do this with Samba, and the reverse is possible with Linux, does not mattter about ReiserFS or ext3.
The only response I can offer to the claims about Hans is what I tell anyone that complains about Linux in any way, it is opensource, you can do better, contribute, if not sugest, to claim or proclaim anything else has no basis unless you can do better.

Many of us will be stuck with MS for a while yet. Program is called called explore2fs. With it, you can access your Linux directory from Windows, copy files, etc. If you don't care, then I have no other recommendation. --doug
Hi Guys
Quick question to any SuSE people on the list (and any other people with experience).
What is the currently recomended filesystem to use with SuSE 7.3? I have been using ReiserFS since SuSE 6.4 with no complaints, and currently have over 50 servers deployed using it (mostly at 7.2 level).
However it seems the upgrade from 7.3 to 7.3 (running ReiserFS) is less

As I have never been a fan of upgrades in any case (and this experience
confirms that) I will be only rolling out 7.3 when I have the need to deploy (or redeploy) a server. That being the case, how good is ext3??!!
I had this discussion with many people at Linux Kongress and the consenus
was overwhelmingly the everyone was using ext3, but this seemed to be as much because the other developers thought Hans Reiser was an idiot as becuse ext3 was technically superior. (Unfortunately I have not met Hans, so I cannot comment one way or the other)
Thought?! Comments?! Flames?!
ie. tell me why Hans is not and idiot so I can continue using ReiserFS :-)
or why I SHOULD use ext3 (Forget backward compatibility with ext2 as I know that already and am uninterested)
