* grub takes long to load after hibernate on reiserfs. Known. Documented (I think so) and unfixable.

Known to whom?

At least the Kernel developers ;)

AFAIK, it has not been mentioned in the factory mail list, and the YaST installer does not warn about it. Not that I remember.

But YaST does not suggest you use reiserfs. I mean - reiserfs is abandoned and basically unmaintained since ages - it's a miracle that it still works at all! ;-) So if a user selects reiserfs, then he obviously knows what he's doing - and he get's what he wants. I mean - YaST2 also does not warn you if you select XFS "Attention, deleting a huge number of small files will be dog slow. Consider to backup, mkfs and restore your backup without the files you want deleted instead!" :-)

Can I assume that, the problem being grub, it will/might work if /boot is moved to a separate ext2 partition? I can try that route.

Yes, that will work well. ext2 (or any other non-journaling FS) is actually the best choice for /boot if you want to use hibernation (even though I use ext3 and never had any problems with it, it probably just works in ext2 compat mode in grub).

I'll open a new one. But the reiserfs issue has to be documented properly before this one can be closed as solved or wontfix.

I agree. Go ahead, write the article in the Wiki ;) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
