I guess it's like XFS, it cannot be resized, only ext2/3 and ReiserFS allows that if I'm not mistaken?
XFS has resize, too. And more: just type "xfs[tab][tab]" on a console and you will see the tools.
The only combination that gives trouble (and big) is an encripted xfs filesystem.

True that there is a growfs utility, but it doesn't easily shrink.. Not that it's a big deal really, one can always just make a temporary storage while deleting/recreating a smaller one. However, that isn't too easy when you come up in RAID rig sizes.. ;-) Not the case this time though, it's only a couple of terabytes. Dave, there _is_ a 16 kVA UPS hooked up, and it does its work just fine.. However, sometimes systems freeze, no matter how limited the number of processes are.. And when they do, the file system usually ends up slightly trashed. Of course there is no thing as a "safe" system that can cover all situations, but at least one can chose a file system that pretty easily repairs itself from a mishap. As far as I've seen, both XFS and ReiserFS recovers just fine, however XFS seems to be a lot slower doing it than ReiserFS. Oh well.. I guess this is a never-ending-discussion anyway.. ;-) Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
