Greetings,
Has anyone experienced a sudden crash when using reiserfs on one partition and ext2 on another?
Never. I always have /boot in ext2 partition, everything else reiserfs

Just weird, I was working in my music folder, and bang the system freezes. With no option but to reboot I do so. All of sudden reiserfsck comes up and says my file system is corrupt. Another message swears that it can't identify my secondpartition. After hours of rescue disk effort, I have had to start my box from scratch... Both my reisefs and ext2 partitions are stuffed.
Have you checked your drive before repartitioning? Better be sure it does not have bad sectors. Manufacturers have tools (bootable diskettes) to check the drive.
One question though, during setup the primary partition is reiserfs, the yast partitioner makes the second partition ext2, I never noticed this until this morning. Hence why the one partition was ext2 not also reiserfs. I went through the setup twice to be sure. Is there a logical reason? Or is my copy buggy? What bothers me is A) why not the same B) if there is reason to make the second different, if so why not ext3 which is far safer than ext2..

Thanks for the reply. Chad
