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.
